Words & Music by Hank Snow Darlin' I am, oh so blue, found the things that I gave you You returned them when you said that we must part I have kept them through the years, they are treasured souvenirs And mark an anniversary of my broken heart Just a rose from your hair, long ago I placed it there Tho' it's faded and the petals fall apart And the fragrance went away, but it's just as sweet today It marks an anniversary of my broken heart A golden ring to me so dear, old love letters stained with tears Had I only known the future from the start Then there'd be no soul to pine for the love that I thought mine Or no anniversary of my broken heart Tho' I know it's all in vain, ev'ry treasure will remain Even tho' the past has torn my world apart I kissed your picture, then I cried, for these mem'ries, deep inside Mark an anniversary of my broken heart
