Souvenirs Composer(s): John Prine First release by: John Prine - 1972
All the snow has turned to water Christmas days have come and gone Broken toys and faded colors Are all that's left to linger on I hate graveyards and old pawn shops For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me Of my childhood souvenirs
Memories they can't be boughten They can't be won at carnivals for free Well it took me years To get those souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me
Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see That's why last night and this mornin' Always look the same to me
I hate reading old love letters For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me Of my sweetheart's souvenirs
