Makes no difference if we two are far apart, dear   I could never ever love somebody new   For there isn't any room inside my heart, dear   'Cause I'm chained to a memory of you      I could never tell another that I long for them   All those whispered words of love would not be true   I could never tell another I belong to 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 could 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 without you   All my dreams and precious hopes of yesterday, they have died   Still I'm chained to a memory of you
