All the snow is turned to water Christmas Day has come and gone Broken toys and faded colors All that left to linger on I hate graveyards and old pawnshops For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me Of my childhood souvenirs Memories they can't be boughten They can't be won at the carnivals for free Well it took me years To get those souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see That's why last night and this morning Always look the same to me I hate reading old love letters For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me Of my sweetheart's souvenirs Memories they can't be boughten They can't be won at the carnivals for free Well it took me years To get those souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me
