Lyrics

[Verse 1] She was standing there before me With the stars shining above her I took one look in her dark eyes Ah, and I knew that I would love her Told her I'd love her forever That I'd never leave, no, never Then she gave me her heart Ooh, ooh [Hook] Souvenir of Mexico [Verse 2] When I kissed her, I was shakin' Such a kiss I've never tasted Though I've kissed many before her All my kisses, they were wasted I never felt a perfection Never knew such sweet affection Kisses straight from the heart Ooh, ooh-hoo [Hook] Souvenir of Mexico [Verse 3] Tropical light with the moon shining bright Holding her in my arms Ah, the soft summer breeze Sing a song through the trees and the palm [Verse 4] Yeah, the next a-morning, we went walking, mmm Through the hills where I first met her With a tear in her eyes, she told me "Boy It's best for you, it's best for you to forget it", mmm 'Cause she made a vow to her mother Vow that she would wed another Now I'm left with a broken heart [Hook] Ah, souvenir of Mexico
