Hank Locklin - Chained To A Memory Lyrics

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

Cause I'm chained to a memory of you

[ steel ]

Maybe time will wear the links away and then dear

They will break and set me free to love a new

But I'll 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 have died

Yet I'm chained to a memory of you
