Question QUESTION: There was an R&B song in the late 1980's ( I think 1987-1989 ) calles " Sweet Memories " from an unknown R&B group that just disappeared after releasing the song. I can't remember the name of the groups, or even any of the lyrics, just the chorus, " seet memories." Can you help me ?
ANSWER: Hello John,
There have been alot of individuals and groups who have done songs with similar lyrics. Can you tell me if it was a male lead singer, both male and female or what? I need to narrow down your search.

QUESTION: A female sang lead in the group, and it was an R&B group. I'm at a loss as to what the name of the group was. They came out of nowhere and I don't believe they made another album after that one. It was a beautiful piece os soul music. Hope you have better luck than me. Thanks.
ANSWER: I just want to rule these out: are these your lyrics?
My world is like a river, as dark as it is deep;
Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep.
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me,
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memory.
Sweet memories, sweet memories-
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.
She slipped into the silence of my dreams again last night;
Wandering from room to room, she's turning on each light.
Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea,
And I'm swept away from sadness, clinging to her memory.
Sweet memories, sweet memories-
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.
Sweet memories, sweet memories-
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.

QUESTION: Wow ! I think that's it. What is the name of the group ? And is the name of the song " Sweet Memories ? " Can't believe you found it.
Answer Or there is this one:
My world is like a river as dark as it is deep
Night after night the past creeps in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness for me
Filled only with the fleeting moments of your memory
Sweet memories sweet memories I'm clinging to your memories
You slipped into the silence of my dreams last night
Wandering from room to room turning out each light
Your laughter spills like water from the river to the sea
And I'm swept away from sadness clinging to your memory
Sweet memories sweet memories I'm clinging to your memories
The first one I mentioned is written by Andy Williams (of all people) I just need to track down all the individuals/groups that did it. The second one, listed above, IS song by a male & female artis with gospel ties.
Does the second one look familiar? because its all I can find so far that has a female singer (besides Lisa Stanfield Who sings a song entitled "sweet memories" BUT in no way matches your recollection of the lyrics.
Iam trying for you ... please let me know
