Souvenir Lyrics
A picture postcard, a folded stub
A program of the play
File away the photographs of your holiday
And your mementos will turn to dust
But that's the price you pay
For ev'ry year is a souvenir
That slowly fades away
Ev'ry year's a souvenir
That slowly fades away
A program of the play
File away the photographs of your holiday
And your mementos will turn to dust
But that's the price you pay
For ev'ry year is a souvenir
That slowly fades away
Ev'ry year's a souvenir
That slowly fades away

Come on, this song is an untouched Gem. I can't believe that no one else has left a comment. Well anywho, I think that the meaning is simple. The years go by fast and soon they become nothing more than memories. I just couldn't stand seeing no comments on this one.

"Souvenir" means memory in French, probably a deliberate pun here, talking of the fading of memories.
A beautiful melody. One of the great things about all of Joel's music is that it's great poetry, as well as great music. Brilliant stuff.
