Connie Francis (born Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero, December 12, 1937) is an American pop singer and top-charting female vocalist of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Although her chart success waned in the second half of the 1960s, Francis remained a top concert draw. Despite several severe interruptions in her career, she is still active as a recording and performing artist.

There's nothing left for me

Of days that used to be

They're just a memory

Among my souvenirs

Some letters sad and blue

A photograph or two

I see a rose from you

Among my souvenirs

A few more tokens rest

Within my treasure chest

And, though they do their best

To give me consolation

I count them all apart

And, as the teardrops start

I find a broken heart

Among my souvenirs

I count them all apart

And, as the teardrops start

I find a broken heart

Among my souvenirs.
