[Verse 1: Ray Charles]
My world is like a river, mmm, as dark as it is deep
Night after night, the past slips in, and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memories

[Chorus: Ray Charles]
Sweet memories, oh Lord
Sweet memories, oh Lord

[Verse 2: Mary Ann Fisher]
He slipped into the silence of my dreams again last night
Wandering from room to room, turning on the lights
Your laughter spills like a river of water out the sea
I'm swept away from sadness clinging to your memory

[Chorus: Ray Charles & Mary Ann Fisher]
Sweet memories (Sing it)
Sweet memories, oh oh

[Outro: Ray Charles]
Hey now
