Sweet Memories

The Everly Brothers

Compositor: Mickey Newbury

My world is like a river
As dark as it is deep
Night after night the past slips in
And gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream
Of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting
Moment of her memories
Sweet memories
Sweet memories
Hmmmmmmmm
She slipped into the silence
Of my dreams last night
Wandering from room to room
She’s turning on each light
Her laughter spills like water
From the river to the sea
I'm swept away from sadness
Clinging to her memories
Sweet memories
Sweet memories
Hmmmmmmmm
