Lyrics
[verse]
I kept a ribbon from the fair we wandered through that year
A ticket stub, a pressed out flower, souvenirs of everything held dear
They don't mean much to anybody passing by
But they hold a whole world if you know just where to look inside
[chorus]
This is my souvenir of you, a fragment I still keep
This is my souvenir of you, in a drawer where old things sleep
Time can take the moment but it never takes it all
Souvenir of you is echoing down the hall
[verse]
I don't need the whole story to remember how it felt
Just the fragments scattered where the seasons melt
A photograph gone yellow, a letter folded twice
These are all the treasures left from paradise
[chorus]
This is my souvenir of you, a fragment I still keep
This is my souvenir of you, in a drawer where old things sleep
Time can take the moment but it never takes it all
Souvenir of you is echoing down the hall
[bridge]
Maybe someday somebody will find this box of mine
Wonder at the meaning of each little sign
They'll never know the story, only hold the parts
But I'll know it lived forever in my heart
[chorus]
This is my souvenir of you, a fragment I still keep
This is my souvenir of you, in a drawer where old things sleep
Time can take the moment but it never takes it all
Souvenir of you is echoing down the hall
