John Kay Sweet Memories Lyrics

Sweet Memories Lyrics

Words and Music by John Kay







When you say that you want me forever



And you don't want me just while I stay



Do you mean that it's always or never



Can we not share the joys of today



There's a chance that tomorrow I'm leaving



There's a chance of a lonely goodbye



But I've learned long go it ain't easy



And it hurts so much more not to cry







So I'll build my tomorrows on sweet memories



Of the times we chased away the sorrow



Than to live a lifetime of long emptiness



And to bear the dreams I had to borrow







Well if you don't believe me girl, you'll try in vain



To get things guaranteed in life, except heartaches and pain



And though you try to bind your joy with loving chains



Happiness will come and go like sunshine and rain







Repeat Chorus







I remember the times full of pleasure



That I shared with the women I knew



There are moments that I'll always treasure



They were special, each one, just like you



So let's not play games with each other



For the time may come soon when we'll part



And though we're no longer together



I will carry you here in my heart
