(Mickey Newbury)
Ricky Van Shelton & Brenda Lee

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 for me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of your memories
Sweet memories sweet memories, mhm mhm.

You slipped into the silence of my dreams last night
Wondering from room to room turning on each light
Your laughter spilled like water from the river to the sea
I'm swept away from sadness clinging to your memories
Sweet memories sweet memories, mhm mhm...
