All the snow has [A] turned to water, [B]
Christmas days have come [E] and gone.
Broken toys and faded [A]
colors are [B]
all that's left to linger [E]
on.
I hate graveyards and [A] old pawn shops, [B]
for they always bring [E] me tears.
I can't forgive the way [A] they robbed me [B]
of my childhood [E]
souvenirs.
[B]
Memories, they [E] can't be bought, [B] they can't be won, they can't have us [E] be free.
[B] Well, it took me years [E] to get those souvenirs, and [A] I don't know how they slipped away from [B] me.
Broken [E]

[E]
hearts and [A] dirty windows made [B] life difficult [E] to say.
That's why last night and [A] this morning
[B] always looked the same [E] to me.
And I hate reading old [A] love letters,
[B] for they always bring [E] me tears.
I can't forgive the way [A] they robbed me
[B] of my sweetheart's [E] souvenirs.
[B]
Memories, they can't be [E] bought, they can't be won, they can't have [E] us be free.

Well, it took me years [E] to get those souvenirs, [A] and I don't know how they slipped away from [B]
