Hank Snow The Anniversary Of My Broken Heart Lyrics

The Anniversary Of My Broken Heart Lyrics

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.
