I WANT TO CARRY YOUR SWEET MEMORIES 

WRITER LEW DeWITT



I wanna carry your sweet memories to my grave. 



At last I've broken off the chain 

Now just a few shackle marks remain 

Now and then a little jolt of sorrow hits my mind

But after a while I soon forget the pain

And go on with sweet memories of you 

And find that I can live my life anew 

And I erase each thought that I might want you back again 

When I remember all you put me through. 



I don't wanna' be your servant anymore 

I don't wanna' be your slave 

I just wanna' remember all the good times that we shared 

And carry those sweet memories to my grave. 



And now I'm free of most the pain 

And I don't wanna' hurt that way again 

If I catch me longin' for the way things used to be 

I just pick up a piece of broken chain. 

That chain recalls alot to me 

I'm reminded how things used to be 

There's just some things I'd rather not remember about you 

I just wanna' have sweet memories. 



I don't wanna' be your servant anymore 

I don't wanna' be your slave 

I just wanna' remember all the good times that we shared 

And carry those sweet memories to my grave. 



I don't wanna' be your servant anymore 

I don't wanna' be your slave 

I just wanna' remember all the good times that we shared 

And carry those sweet memories to my grave...
