This is the last line of the song, as I remember it; it may or may not even be in the title. It's a great old one my dad and uncle used to harmonize on, and we want to learn it before he comes out for a visit this summer. any and all help appreciated!

An old EDDY ARNOLD TUNE...

CHAINED TO A MEMORY OF YOU
Recorded by: Eddy Arnold
Writer: Jenny Lou Carson

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.

Mabye 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 nothin' I can do
All my dreams and precious hopes of yesterday have died
Yet, I'm CHAINED TO A MEMORY OF YOU.

Hey, Jenny! I owe you a great big thanks and an apology. I had to go out of town just after I posted my request, and just now got the chance to go back and take a look. I appreciate your help!
