Lyrics

You said you didn’t want to be just a souvenir
A little figurine of you just beside the mirror
Maybe a postcard wishing you were here
I’ll show you off so I’ll make it something I can wear

Chorus
You said you didn’t want to be just a souvenir
You said you didn’t want to be just a souvenir
It’s the only way that I’ll keep you in my life my dear
You said you didn’t want to be just a souvenir

Take, take a shot with the image of the Croix de Guerre
A shiny little thing but the spelling of your name’s not here
The magnets of your words, that add refrigerator flair
The globe it snows but the windup music’s hard to bare

You said you didn’t want to be just a souvenir
Oh but I wish you were, so that I could make you disappear
You said you didn’t want to be just a souvenir
But it’s the only way, that I keep you in my life my dear

You said you didn’t want to be just a souvenir
You said you didn’t want to be just a souvenir
I’ll show you off so I’ll make it something I can wear
You said you didn’t want to be just a souvenir
