Sweet Memories
By Hank Locklin
 
G
My world is like a river 
C
As dark as it is deep
D7
Night after night the past slips in
                   G
And gathers all my sleep
 
                              
My days are just an endless stream
C
Of emptiness to me
                   G
Filled only by the fleeting 
        D7         G
Moments of your memory
D7        G     B7        Em
Sweet memories  sweet memories
 
G
You slipped into the silence  
C
Of my dreams last night
D7
Wandering from room to room
                    G
And turning on each light
 
 
Your laughter spills like water
         C
From the river to the sea
                        G
And I'm swept away from sadness
         D7         G
Clinging to your memory
D7        G     B7        Em
Sweet memories  sweet memories

G               D7              G
Memories of the sweetest love I know
