Dixie Cup Of Sand Lyrics - Skeeter Davis

I'm taking home a Dixie cup of sand 

A couple of sea shelves 

My diary and some Kodak colored pictures 

Of the one who's breaking my heart 

I'm closing up my suitcase for the summer 

I'll take this year's souvenirs and start 

With my Dixie cup of sand a 

A couple of sea shelves and my broken heart 

Why must it always turn out like this? 

I've got plenty sand and I've got plenty shelves 

But I don't have anyone to hug and kiss, hug and kiss 

So I'm taking home 

A Dixie cup of sand and my broken heart
