[INTRO]
[F] [F7] [Bb] [C7]
My w[F]orld is like a r[F7]iver as d[Bb]ark as it is d[F]eep
[C] Night after night[C7] the past slips in[C] and gathers all my sl[F]eep
My d[F]ays are just an [F7]endless stream[Bb] of emptiness to m[F]e
Filled [Bb]only by the fl[F]eeting moments[C] of her memor[F]ies
S[C]we[C7]et memor[F]ies
S[A7]wee[A7sus4]t memor[Dm]ies[F] [G] [F]hm[C]mm[F]m [Bb] [C]
She sl[F]ipped into the s[F7]ilence of my dr[Bb]eams last n[F]ight
[C] Wondering[C7] from room to room[C] turning on each l[F]ight
Her l[F]aughter spills like w[F7]ater from[Bb] the river to the s[F]ea
And I'm sw[Bb]ept away from sadn[F]ess clinging t[C]o her memor[F]ies
S[C]we[C7]et memor[F]ies
S[A7]wee[A7sus4]t memor[Dm]ies[F] [G] [F]hm[C]mm[C#]m [F]
