Lyrics

Souvenir

[Verse 1]

A picture postcard, a folded stub

A program of the play

File away the photographs

Of your holiday

[Verse 2]

And your mementos will turn to dust

But that's the price you'll pay

For every year's a souvenir

That slowly fades away

[Outro]

Every year's a souvenir

That slowly fades away
