Sweet Wisdom Lyrics

Sweet Wisdom lyrics

Dresses my mother wore were never of silk

Places where she would go, it wouldn't fit in

But I remember, cold days turned to spring

Just to know she was there when I'd walk in



Living the simple life, you work with your hands

Watching the years go by and never complain

Oh, I remember the beads on your brow

Father you're resting, it's all over now



Oh, looking back, the years have flown

Oh, sweet wisdom, had I known

And if we could see inside each other's hearts

Would it make a difference, would we understand

Find no resistance, just love, joy and peace



Watching how you've grown can I recall

Did I make a difference, did I do it right?

Remember your wisdom, it will serve you well

Life is a short time, oh, you never can tell



Oh, looking back, the years have flown

Oh, sweet wisdom, had I known

And if we could see inside each other's hearts

Would we make a difference, would we understand

Find no resistance, just love, joy and peace
