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 longed for them
'Cause I'm chained to a memory of you

(Instrumental Break)

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 precious dreams and hopes of yesterday have died
Yet I'm chained to a memory of you
