Sweet Memories

Mother, you don't know me But I'm wishing you some peace This day has left you lonely And in a time of need For someone to comfort you and listen To the words that you speak When all your hope is gone Just keep holding on To sweet memories When all your hope is gone Just keep holding on To sweet memories Father, I'm a stranger But I recognize your pain And there is nothing short of anger When the scene plays out again Another world of sadness fills your heart The tears are on your face When all your hope is gone Just keep holding on To sweet memories When all your hope is gone Just keep holding on To sweet memories How many times should children lose their fathers? How many times can we do this to one another? I don't pray to Jesus, but I pray we love each other Because we can, because we can People, I'm your neighbor And so you are mine And how we treat each other Is defining of our time I don't have the answers To all the world's questions But someone said to me When all your hope is gone Just keep holding on To sweet memories When all your hope is gone Just keep holding on To sweet memories With all that's come and gone Just keep holding on To sweet memories With all that's come and gone We shall overcome With sweet memories
