Lyrics
Huh!
She was standing there before me
With a star shining above her
I took one look in her dark eyes
Then I knew I'd love her
I told her I'd never leave her
Never leave, no, never
Then she gave me her heart
(Ooh, ooh)
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
When I kissed her, I was seeking
Such a kiss I've never tasted
Though I've kissed many before
All my kisses, they were wasted
I never knew such affection
Nor tasted sweet affliction
But kisses straight from the heart
(Ooh, ooh)
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
The tropical light with the moon shining bright
Hurdles in her eyes
The softer we sing
It's the softer the thrills in the morn, heh
Next morning we went through the hills
When I first met her
With even the tears in her eyes
She said it hurts if I forget her
She made a vow to her mother
She'll never take another
And she left with a broken heart
(Ooh, ooh)
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
