Billy Joel - Souvenir Lyrics

Such an awesome tune. It's such a shame that it has been overlooked and overshadowed

I got teared up on this song. My main man Billy knew how.

Happy New Year! Can't believe it's 2020

Billy joel> idk hes just really good but i dont want to start a war with elton fans so im just gonna leave it at that

Too short... Such a beautiful song ❤️

A picture postcard
A folded stub
A program of the play
File away your photographs
Of your holiday
And your mementos
Will turn to dust
But that's the price you pay
For every year's a souvenir
That slowly fades away
Every year's a souvenir
That slowly fades away

He actually wrote this song as a filler because the album needed another song on it

god damn wish i could pull stuff like this out at any time

And the regular folk only remember him for Uptown Girl. How much do they not know ??!!

"Eu estarei bem aqui" me doe o coração essa cena 😢 HIMYM ❤

C'est beau

I love the piano intro.

It's reminds of the row boat scene in the 1976 movie Acapulco Gold.

Alexa Joel brought me here.

C,🎵❤🎵

Voces tiraram meu c
I love Billy Joel and this song

capolavoro

Absolutely brilliant.

Ted and Tracy's scene in the Farhampton Inn + this song = instant bawling

I agree. As much as I love HIMYM I so thought the ending was a let down.

Awesome

this is beautiful❤

This song says everything I can and more we all deserve better then what we thought we had sadly enough.

This piano melody at the beginning (and at the end) is one of the most beautiful melody ever in my life. It gives me so many feelings. How is that possible

ohh... the melancholy...

how I met your mother brought me here

"Every year's a souvenir that slowly fades away." Sad, but somehow comforting. Happy birthday to Billy Joel. This is a perfect example of quality over quantity. Excellent stuff 👍

Alamos James--- Alamos...I was just looking through old..well, momentos, and came across all the tickets (folded stubs) from the Billy Joel concerts I've been to...and they ARE fading away...crumbling. As I looked at them THIS song came into my head and I started crying right on the damn things. Then I had to come here and listen to it again...and read some comments from people who get it...Be Well.

How i met your mother 9x02 💔💔💔

This is the only Billy Joel song I was able to learn to play on the piano, because it so slow.

Still waiting for the one. E.

apple is my souveir

What an amazing song from my favorite artist. I wish it was longer, it's such a touching song and it's so true. Then again, I love it just the way it is ;)

"-I'll be right back
-I'll be right here"
<3

battousai9795 aww you beat me to it.

mr. Wldasoldmysoul4pussyasateen heh, that scene is so beautiful :)

i hope :)(:

HIMYM ♥️

Words can't express the beauty of this music. What a performer!!

0:25 at this moment i fell in love with this song

do you think this song is a ripoff of  Simon and Garfunkel's  bookends?

two totally different songs you idiot

PAUL FT i dont think its a rippoff but billy prided himself on being a colector of musical atributes that he found in other artists and songs

Only if "Bookends" ripped off Chopin and Rachmaninov first.

If I had found this song sooner, I might have been able to predict the cycle of the "Mother".
P.S. Do any die hard HIMYM fans know at what point they started to lay out the clues to what happened to Tracy?

There was a clue when they met Carol (BlahBlah) and later Ted realizes he really didn’t kiss Lily. They get high on the “sandwiches” Lily confiscated from some kids and Ted says “Where’s my wife?” and they all start laughing.

at the farhampton station where you see the mother for the first time, 'funeral' by 'band of horses' is played. I think it was episode 1 of season 8

@Butterscotchyyy Though, the mother was still alive then

@Jiwoo3mstr If she wasn't it would've been so brilliant... Like imagine rewatching the show... Damn...

S01 E01 when he describes the way he felt when he first saw Robin. I don't think he would have described her that way if his wife was around.

"I'm coming back, and I'm bringing you."

himym brung me here, wow

Dave Elson "brung"

Fact that you don't know brung means you know fuck all about Yorkshire, Brung is Brought, not fetched but brung
, Don't question words i use fool..............

This song couldn't be more true.

HIMYM led me here :)b

This song gives me feels. HIMYM.
