Etta James - Sweet Memories Lyrics

Etta James Lyrics

"Sweet Memories"

My world
Is like the river
As dark
As it is deep
Oh oh night
After night the past slips in
And gathers all my sleep

My days
Are just an endless stream of emptiness
To me
Filled only by fleeting moments
Love is, is memories

Oh sweet
Sweet memories now
Oh sweet
Sweet memories
Ohhhohhh mmmhmm

He slipped
Into the silent streams
Last night
Ohhh he kept wandering from room to room
Let me tell ya
He keeps turning on, turning on each light

The laughter
Spills like water from the river
To the sea
And I'm swept away from sadness
Clinging to
Holding on to that memory

Oh sweet, sweet, sweet memories now
Ohhh sweet
Sweet memories
Oh I got to tell you now
Uh huh uhhh uhmmmm

Sweet memories
Ahh ahhh I got sweet memories
Oh, oh I got sweet memories
