I Want to Carry Your Sweet Memories

(Written by Lew DeWitt)



I wanna carry your sweet memories to my grave.



At last I've broken off the chain

Now just a few shoppin' marts from Maine

Now and then a little jolt of sorrow hit my mind

But after a while I soon forget the pain.



And go on with sweet memories of you

And find that I can live my life anew

And I erase each thought that I might want you back again

And I remember all you put me through.



I don't wanna' be your servant anymore

I don't wanna' be your slave

I just wanna' remember all the good times that we shared

And carry those sweet memories to my grave.



And now I'm free of most the pain

And I don't wanna' hurt that way again

If I catch me longin' for the way things used to be

I just pick up a piece of broken chain.



That chain recalls alot for me

I'm reminded how things used to be

There's just some things I'd rather not remember about you

I just wanna' have sweet memories.



I don't wanna' be your servant anymore

I don't wanna' be your slave

I just wanna' remember all the good times that we shared

And carry those sweet memories to my grave.



I don't wanna' be your servant anymore

I don't wanna' be your slave

I just wanna' remember all the good times that we shared

And carry those sweet memories to my grave...
