I can't find the words to this song on Cowpie or google. I think Jerry Wallace had a hit on it, but Mickey was the writer. We were planning on doing it tomorrow night, if I can get the words, Hope somebody has it. Thanks.

(Mickey Newberry)

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 her memories.

Sweet memories, sweet memories
I'm clinging to her memories.

She slipped into the silence
Of my dreams last night
Wandering from room to room
Turning on each light.

Her laughter spills like water
From the river to the sea
I'm swept away from sadness
Clinging to her memories.

Sweet memories, sweet memories
I'm clinging to her memories...

You can close this thread. I went to google last night and put in: SONG LYRICS: SWEET MEMORIES and it popped up under some Ray Price Stuff, so I got the words there, but ONLY the words. Thanks for the chords changes to go with it and for everybody's helping out.

We play an old song called "After Sweet Memories, Play Born To Lose Again".
