Souvenir of Love
Unveiling the Heart's Journey: Souvenir of Love by Jessie Matthews
Lyrics
My heart was -
Expressing the state of the heart before a transformative experience.
Till you awakened me
Acknowledging the awakening brought by someone special.
Showing me the way to happiness
Grateful for guidance towards a joyful life.
An angel up above
Referring to a benevolent figure or influence from above.
Send me a token of
Receiving a symbolic gift from the divine.
Something precious alway to possess
Expressing the perpetual value of the received token.
I'm bringing you home
Announcing the intention to bring the special person home.
Oh my souvenir
Endearingly referring to the person as a cherished memory.
My souvenir of dawn
