This song is called Wanting Memories by Ysaye Barnwell.
This song is my favorite because it makes me think of my Grandma whom of which i dearly loved..We sung this song for a Invitational Choral Clinic at my school.
Here it goes, this is for you grandma! I know your always there with me, no matter what!
--
-I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me to see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
-Yes 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 in life were gone.
-You said you'd comfort me in times like these and now I need you, and now i need you, and you are gone.
-So, 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 that i was told.
-Yes I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me to see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
-Yes 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; think on these things, for they are truth.
-And 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.
-Yes I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me to see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
-Yes I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me to see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
