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 to me Filled only by the fleeting moments of his memory Sweet memories, oh sweet memories Mmmmm mmmm mmmm He slipped into the silence Of my dreams again last night Wandering from room to room Keeps turning on each light His laughter spills like water From the river to the sea And swept away all sadness clinging to his memory Sweet memories All those sweet memories Mmmm mmmm mmmm
