Wanting Memories

           F
I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me,
   C       Bb                  C             F
To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.

You used to rock me in the cradle of your arms,
F
You said you'd hold me till the pains of life were gone.
F
You said you'd comfort me in times like these and now I need you,
       Gm  C  Gm                F
Now I need you,      and you are gone.

F
Since you've gone and left me, there's been so little beauty,
Gm           C              F
But I know I saw it clearly through your eyes.

F
Now the world outside is such a cold and bitter place,
F
Here inside I have few things that will console.
    C      F
And when I try to hear your voice above the storms of life,
         C      Gm         F
Then I remember    all the things that I was told.

I think on the things that made me feel so wonderful when i was young.

I think on these things, for they are true.

I thought that you were gone, but now I know you're with me,

You are the voice that whispers all I need to hear.

I know a please a thank you and a smile will take me far,

I know that who I am is numbered in each grain of sand,
F
I know that I've been blessed again, and over again.
