"Souvenirs," A LOVE SONG

VERSE:                        

Don’t give me trinkets.

Don’t give me tokens.

I don’t need another charm,

That leaves my heart broken,

Like daisies and diamonds,

Or photos and letters,

Even your favorite sweater.

 

CHORUS:                                

If I had to choose, 

And I think I do,

I’d rather have you, 

Than any of your 

Souvenirs.

 

VERSE:                        

Just give me memories.

Just give me moments.

I just want another breath,

That leaves us both closer,

Like days spent in secret,

And midnight confessions,

Even the difficult questions.

 

CHORUS:                                

If I had to choose, 

And I think I do,

I’d rather have you, 

Than any of your 

Souvenirs.

 

BRIDGE:                                  

My closets are full.

My drawers are packed.

If you give me a keepsake, 

I’m giving it back.

What I need cannot be bought,

But it will surely cost you.

 

CHORUS:                                

If I had to choose, 

And I think I do,

I’d rather have you, 

Than any of your 

Souvenirs.

CHORUS:                                

If I had to choose, 

And I think I do,

I’d rather have you, 

Than any of your 

Souvenirs.

TAG:

Than any of your 

Souvenirs.
