Makes no difference if we two are far apart dear

I could never ever love somebody new

For there isn't any room inside my heart dear cause I'm chained to a memory of you

I could never tell another that I long for them

All those whispered words of love would not be true

I could never tell another I belong to them cause I'm chained to a memory of you

[ piano - steel ]

Maybe time will wear the links away and then dear

They will break and set me free to love anew

But I could never care for 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 without you

All my dreams and precious hopes of yesterday they have died

Still I'm chained to a memory of you
