Skeeter Davis - Chained to a Memory lyrics

rate me

(Jenny Lou Carson)

Makes no difference if we two are far apart dear

I could never ever love somebody new

Cause there isn't any room inside my heart dear

While I'm chained to a memory of you.

I could never tell another I belong to them

All those whispered words of love would not be true

I could never tell another that I long for them

While I'm chained to a memory of you.

--- Instrumental ---

Maybe time will wear the links away and then dear

They will break and set me free to love a new

I could never love someone else again dear

While I'm chained to a memory of you.

If the world should end tomorrow I'd be satisfied

'Cause you're gone and there is nothing I can do

All my dreams and precious hopes of yesterday they have died

Yet I'm chained to a memory of you...
