Sweet Memories

(Mickey Newbury)



My world is like a river

Oh, as dark as it is deep

And night after night the past creeps in

And gathers all my sleep.



My day is just an endless stream

Of emptiness to me

Filled only by the fleeting moments

Of your memories, sweet memories, sweet memories, mhm.



You slipped into the silence

Of my dreams last night

Wondering from room to room

Turning on the lights.



Your laughter spills like a river

With water out to sea

I'm swept away from sadness

Clinging to your memories, sweet memories, sweet memories, mhm...
