Hank Locklin - Sweet Memories lyrics

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 moments of your memories

Sweet memories, sweet memories. mhm.

You slipped into the silence of my dreams last night

Wondering from room to room and turning on each light

Your laughter spills like water from the river to the sea

And I'm swept away from sadness clinging to your memories

Sweet memories, sweet memories. mhm.

Mem'ries are the sweetest love I know...
