Souvenir
"Souvenir" - Music & Vocals by Andrei Sorokin; Lyrics by Keith Gilman
Verse 1
A vintage tee.
A bonsai tree.
A magnet for the fridge.
A postcard from the edge
To forget.
Chorus 1
You made me,
You made me just a souvenir.
You made me,
You made me just a souvenir.
Verse 2
A haunting song -
Roy Orbison –
A dance until the dawn.
The footsteps linger on
And on . . .
Chorus 2
You made me,
You made me just a souvenir.
You made me
A distant twinkle in your ear.
Bridge
Time accentuates the meaning,
Or takes it away.
Below the attic ceiling
Keepsakes sitting in a box,
Covered in dust.
Instrumental Break
Chorus 3
You made me,
You made me just a souvenir.
You made me,
Another faded memory.
Verse 3
A party dress,
A flower pressed . . .
We’ll leave it in the past.
That’s where it ages best,
I guess.
Chorus 4
I may be,
I may be just a souvenir.
But, baby,
I’m swinging from the chandelier.
Instrumental Outro
