Among My Souvenirs 1927

Your eyes once told me a story;
I built my castles on air.
Life soon was dimmed of its glory,
I loved but you ceased to care.

There's nothing left for me,
of days that used to be,
I live in memory
among my souvenirs.
Some letters tied with blue,
A photograph or two
I see a rose from you
among my souvenirs.
A few more tokens rest
within my treasure chest,
and tho' they do their best
to give me consolation,
I count them all apart,
and as the tear drops start,
I find a broken heart
among my souvenirs.

There's nothing left for me,
of days that used to be,
I live in memory
among my souvenirs.
Some letters tied with blue,
A photograph or two
I see a rose from you
among my souvenirs.
A few more tokens rest
within my treasure chest,
and tho' they do their best
to give me consolation,
I count them all apart,
and as the tear drops start,
I find a broken heart
among my souvenirs.

You broke the news to me kindly;
I can't say you were not fair.
Yet, just because I loved blindly,
I have the burden to bear.

There's nothing left for me,
of days that used to be,
I live in memory
among my souvenirs.
Some letters tied with blue,
A photograph or two
I see a rose from you
among my souvenirs.
A few more tokens rest
within my treasure chest,
and tho' they do their best
to give me consolation,
I count them all apart,
and as the tear drops start,
I find a broken heart
among my souvenirs.

There's nothing left for me,
of days that used to be,
I live in memory
among my souvenirs.
Some letters tied with blue,
A photograph or two
I see a rose from you
among my souvenirs.
A few more tokens rest
within my treasure chest,
and tho' they do their best
to give me consolation,
I count them all apart,
and as the tear drops start,
I find a broken heart
among my souvenirs.
