Souvenir Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A picture postcard, a folded stub
A program of the play
File away the photographs
Of your holiday

[Verse 2]
And your mementos will turn to dust
But that's the price you'll pay
For every year's a souvenir
That slowly fades away

[Outro]
Every year's a souvenir
That slowly fades away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
