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
