Among My Souvenirs
Francis Connie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of days that used to be
They're just a memory
Among my souvenirs
Some letters sad and blue
A photograph or two
I see a rose from you
A few more tokens rest
Within my treasure chest
And, though they do their best
To give me consolation
I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs
I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs

There's nothing left for me of days that used to be
All the moments from the past are gone and lost forever
There's just a memory among my souvenirs
I can only recall these moments in my mind and heart
Some letters tied in blue, a photograph or two
All I have to remember these moments are a few letters and pictures
I see a rose from you among my souvenirs
I cherish a rose given to me by someone special in my memories
A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest
I keep a few more items that once held value to me
And though they do their best to give me consolation
Even though they try to bring me comfort during hard times
I count them all apart and as the teardrops start
When I go through these items, it brings me to tears
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs
I realize that my heart has been broken and the memories only make it hurt more
I count them all apart and as the teardrops start
As I continue to go through these memories
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs
I come to the realization that my heart is still broken and these memories only make it more painful

What a voice. Gives me goosebumps. Nothing quite like the old music.

I was but a naive 13 year old in the frozen Midwest when this song came over the airwaves courtesy of WLS in Chicago. How I loved it then. And in 2020, sixty years later, it still resonates. It still moves me. It still just fills me with emotion. It is a true classic sung by a woman with a voice that is truly a gift from the gods.

IT IS A GIFT FROM THE ONE TRUE GOD, "THE DIVINE ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE AND CREATOR OF ALL THINGS," NOT MYTHICAL PAGAN GREEK "gods."
