Souvenir of Mexico

She was standing there before me with the stars shining above her

I took one look in her dark eyes

Ah, and I knew that I would love her

Told her I'd love her forever, that I'd never leave, no never

Then she gave me her heart

Souvenir of Mexico

When I kissed her, I was shaken, such a kiss, I've never tasted

Though I've kissed many before her, all my kisses, they were wasted

I've never felt the perfection, never knew such sweet affection

Kisses straight from the heart

Souvenir of Mexico

Tropical night with the moon shining bright, holding her in my arms

Ah, the soft summer breeze, sing a

Song through the trees and the pond

Yeah, ah, the next morning, we went walking

Mm, through the hills, where I first met her

With a tear in her eye, she told me, "Boy, it's best for

You, it's best for you to forget it." Um, 'cause she made

A vow to her mother, vowed that she would wed another

Now I'm left with a broken heart

Ah, souvenir
