Hank Locklin - Sweet Memories

      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
