Words & Music by Hank Snow
Darlin? I am, oh so blue, found the things that I gave you.
You returned them when you said that we must part.
I have kept them through the years, they are treasured souvenirs,
And mark an anniversary of my broken heart.
Just a rose from your hair, long ago I placed it there.
Tho? it?s faded and the petals fall apart.
And the fragrance went away, but it?s just as sweet today,
It marks an anniversary of my broken heart.
A golden ring to me so dear, old love letters stained with tears,
Had I only known the future from the start,
Then there?d be no soul to pine for the love that I thought mine,
Or no anniversary of my broken heart.
Tho? I know it?s all in vain, ev?ry treasure will remain
Even tho? the past has torn my world apart.
I kissed your picture, then I cried, for these mem?ries, deep inside
Mark an anniversary of my broken heart.
