I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me

To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes

I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me

To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes

You used to rock me in the cradle of your arms

You said you'd hold me till the pains of life were gone

You said you'd comfort me in times like these and now I need you

Now I need you and you are gone

I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me

To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes

Since you've gone and left me there's been so little beauty

But I know I saw it clearly through your eyes

Now the world outside is such a cold and bitter place

Here inside I have few things that will console

And when I try to hear your voice above the storms of life

Then I remember all the things that I was told

I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me

To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes

I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me

To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes

I think on the things that made me feel

So wonderful when I was young

I think on the things that made me laugh

Made me dance made me sing

I think on the things that made me grow into a being full of pride

I think on these things for they are true

I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me

To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes

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 I am you and you are me and we are one

I know that who I am is numbered in each grain of sand

I know that I've been blessed again and over again

I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me

To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes

I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me

To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes
