Words & Music by Mickey Newberry
Recorded by Andy Williams, 1982


E7  A             A7sus4  A7 A7/9 D   F#m          D6
My world is like a  riv - er, as dark    as it is deep;

 E   Cdim     E7  D9  Fdim Cdim  E7     Fdim    E7 Bm7-5  A
Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my  sleep.

E7  A              A7sus4  A7  A7/9  A7  D   F#m     D6
My days are just an end - ess stream of emptiness to me,

B7     D   DM7 D6  A        F#m     D9     Dm6  Fdim  A
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her mem - o - ry.


|E7| E7 |      |A | A |C#7 | C#7|     |F#m| B7 |
Sweet---- memories,    sweet----- memories-

| A F#m | D9 E7 | A | A |
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.

E7  A               A7sus4   A7 A7/9 A7   D      F#m       D6
She slipped into the  si - lence of  my dreams again last night;

E   Cdim        E7  D9 Fdim Cdim   E7    Fdim E7 Bm7-5  A
Wandering from room to room, she's turn - ing on each light.

E7   A                  A7sus4 A7 A7/9  A7  D   F#m     D6
Her laughter spills like wat - er from the river to the sea,

B7       D        DM7 D6   A        F#m      D9     Dm6 Fdim  A
And I'm swept a - way from sadness, clinging to her mem - o - ry.


|E7| E7 |      |A | A |C#7 | C#7|     |F#m| B7 |
Sweet---- memories,    sweet----- memories-

| A F#m | D9 - D6/9 - E7 - E7sus4 | F | Dm6 | A |
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.
