Sweet Memories

Sweet Memories - Mickey Newbury

My world is like a river

As dark as it is deep

Night after night the past slips in

Gathers all my sleep

My days are just an endless stream

Of emptiness to me

Filled only by the fleeting

Moments of her memory

Sweet memories

Sweet memories

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 memory

Sweet memories

Sweet memories
