Romance comes to all in Summer, Spring or Fall
It came the day that I met you
And though you may seem a sweet and happy dream
Yet all the time you knew it was untrue

There's nothing left for me of days that used to be
I live in memory among my souvenirs

Some letters tied with blue, a photograph or two
I see a rose from you among my souvenirs

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

(Orchestral Interlude)

I count them all apart and as the teardrops start
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs
