Ferlin Husky Lyrics
"Sweet Memories"

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)

Sweet mem'ries, when will you go away
When will I be free from yesterday
Sweet mem'ries, your love has come and gone
But a touch of yesterday keeps hanging on.

Sweetheart it would be easier for me to walk on water
Than for me to find the way to forget you
I cried myself to sleep last night and this morning I cried harder
And relived the very moment that I met you.

I never thought I'd see the day I'd be praying for an ending
An ending to be only love I've known
If our goodbye had been strong enough to destroy our beginning
Then my reason to remember would be gone.

Sweet mem'ries when will you go away
When will I be free from yesterday
Sweet mem'ries, your love has come and gone
But a touch of yesterday keeps hanging on.

(Sweet memories...)
