A Heartache for a Keepsake

Kitty Wells · Kitty Wells [1966]

(Roger Miller)



A heartache for a keepsake

What a tragic souvenir

Now I know how it feels

When peoples dreams all disappear.



I'm looking out my window

Watching her just walk away

A heartache for a keepsake

It became mine just today.



A picture fades with time

But will a heartache do the same

Years from now will I still

Wake up nights and call her name.



Oh, it hurts to love somebody

And to see her walk away

A heartache for a keepsake

It became mine just today.



A picture fades with time

But will a heartache do the same

Years from now will I still

Wake up nights and call her name.



Oh, it hurts to love somebody

And to see her walk away

A heartache for a keepsake

It became mine just today...
