[Intro]
Huh!
[Verse 1]
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)
[Chorus]
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
[Verse 2]
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)
[Chorus]
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
Souvenir of a-Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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)
[Chorus]
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)
