Silver Medals And Sweet Memories
Recorded by the Statler Brothers
Written by Don Reid
C G7 C F C
Just a picture on a table just some letters momma saved
G7 C D7 G7
And a costume brooch from England on the back it has engraved
C G7 C F C
To Eileen I love you London nineteen forty-three
F G7 C
And she never heard from him again and he never heard of me
G7 C
And the war still ain't over for momma
Am C G7
Every night in her dreams she still sees
C G7 C
The young face of someone who left her
Am G7 C
Silver medals and sweet memories
G7 C F C
In momma's bedroom closet to this day on her top shelf
G7 C D7 G7
There's a flag folded 3-cornered laying all by itself
C G7 C F C
And the sergeant would surely be honored to know how pretty she still is
F G7 C
And that after all these lonely years his Eileen still lives
G7 C
And the war still ain't over for momma
Am C G7
Every night in her dreams she still sees
C G7 C
The young face of someone who left her
Am G7 C
Silver medals and sweet memories
