"Sweet Memories" lyrics

Sweet Memories

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 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
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm
