Chained to a Memory - Eddy Arnold

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 the 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

Maybe time will wear the links away and then dear

They will break and set me free to love anew

But I’ll 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

All my dreams and precious hopes of yesterday have died

Yet I’m chained to a memory of you
