Rita MacNeil - 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
