Lyrics

  1. Your heart tonight is so happy
    Just as your bright eyes have told
    Happy, for soon you’ll be wearing
    A dear little band of gold
    So many the keepsakes he gave you
    To tell you his heart was true
    Now of love I once dreamed
    And my heart happy seemed
    So you see I’ve a keepsake, too

Chorus
My keepsake is a heartache
For love’s sweet dream is o’er
My keepsake is a heartache
It never will be more
So sweet the smiles he gave me
So sad the tears that flow
My keepsake is a heartache
That tells of the long ago

  1. With pleasant words he had won me
    Love in his eyes shining bright
    So in the sunshine I lingered
    For I never dreamed of night
    But with pleasant words soon he left me
    And promised that he’d return
    May your heart never know
    Such a sad cruel blow
    As the lesson I had to learn
