There's nothing left for me of days that used to be.

6  6    7  7-7-7  -6-6 -7 -6 6  5
I live in memory among my souvenirs.

 5    5  6    6   -5    -5   -5 -5-6 -6   6   6
Some letters tied with blue--a photograph or two.

6  6  7  7   -7   -7  -6 -6 -7  -6 6  7
I see a rose from you among my souvenirs.

5 -5   6   -6 -8  -8    7 -7  -6   7  6     7
A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest-

 4   -4      5   -5  -7   -7  -6  6  -5   5 5 5 -4
And though they do their best to give me consolation,

5   5     6   6 -5 -5   -5  -5  -6  -6   6    6
I count them all a part and as the teardrops start,

6   6  7  7 -7   -7   -6 -6 -7 -6 6  7
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs.

--repeat from "A few more tokens...."

(One of my favorite Joni James tunes.)
