Sweet Memories

Daniel O'Donnell

A single red rose all withered with age

Brings back sweet memories of happier days

A single teardrop falls on the dew

It sparkles in sunlight and fades from my view.

Sweet memories always will be

Only of you, always with me

Sweet memories never to fade

Like darkness to dawn

Tonight I'll be there.

A star in the heavens clings just for me

Calling me gently to a door with no key

A voice speaks so softly to me all alone

Oh gently it's saying, "Soon you'll be home".

Sweet memories always will be

Only of you, always with me

Sweet memories never to fade

Like darkness to dawn

Tonight I'll be there.

A precious moment stands as time rolls by

A raindrop from heaven tells me you cried

A ray of sunlight makes a pathway for me

Tonight I'll be home, that's where I long to be.

Sweet memories always will be

Only of you, always with me

Sweet memories never to fade

Like darkness to dawn

Tonight I'll be there.

 Like darkness to dawn

Tonight I'll be there.
