Sweet Wisdom Lyrics - Singles - Rita Macneil

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
