Wanting Memories by Sweet Honey in the Rock
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 til 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
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 til 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

Bernice - thanks for the beautiful and soulful vibes - “Peace Out!”
Touching my soul. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
Everyone who watched stampy’s videos now probably think of this song all the time
I remeber seeing them on a PBS special doing "Breaths" and I thought they access to different dimensions. They made me curious about everything. I didn't hear this until a good 25 years later. It made me curious if they they still had access to those different dimensions.
I think of this song when thinking of the transition of my sun knowing that my nother holds him with love in the land beyond the physical thank you for such a beautiful gift that not many people understand to explain with such a beautiful Rythmatic divinity
My heart exploded when I heard this
I always thought it said "wanting the breeze to teach me"
This is so beautiful 😢 rip GRANDMA
Thank you… A most beautiful and moving song❤
🙌🏽💖✨💞😪😥😪💞✨💖🙌🏽 Blessed Father and Mother in Heaven. So very very moving...
I'm cleaning one of their places now in D.C

Sweet honey in the rock are very underrated
This song legit calms me down so much. Use it at work to calm me down from quitting my job lol
my mom was my very best friend, i have always loved Sweet Honey since the 70s, i used to cry while listening to this song way before my mom died...thus when my mom was taking her last horrible breathes i had the nurses pull up this song on the computer in the room & i sang it to her as she took her very last breath...i miss her so much, she was the very best! she now shows me heart shaped clouds almost everyday...
#1 bless your Mom's soul🙏🏾😘 and blessings and strength to you as well 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾ps your Mom had good taste especially in music 😉

Not on Spotify :(
been listening to these ladies since mid 70s in college. This song is about my Nana, who was the one w loved me when my mother couldnt. It still makes me cry- w gratitude- 30 years later.
Awesome
beautiful and powerful Thanks and praise be to the ancestors. and your mother be honored
My sister, best friend, and mentor passed away almost a year ago. Se ignited the energy of social justice activism and compassion in me. I miss her dearly. I really miss her. This helps.
2:23 - 2:36 made me cry
i keep crying
In the difficult spring of 2020 in the streets of North America, thank you for this. Now.
What album is this from?
Still On a the Journey (1993)
When my mom and dad got split up on March 30th 2016 and move too different apartments I cry and now 4 years later April 25th 2020 I can feel this song in my soul 😭😭😭😭😭
I've been out high school choir almost 14yrs and this still makes me cry 😢
Beauty incarnate. Goddesses all of them whoever were part of this group. Tears streaming. Doesn't matter that I have know this song for a few decades - same response.
The most incredible music is from Sweet Honey. Saw them in Berkeley in 1990 and their music still lives in my heart. 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! Dr. Ysaye Barnwell has the most beautiful spirit. Thank you.
I first heard and loved the Hawaiian version years ago, but I like this one too...
Thank you, Sean Kessler, for posting this. Our church choir sang it yesterday, and I've been listening to it over and over, remembering loved ones who've crossed to the other side and a dear soul who is leaving her body even as I write these words. This song has comforted me in a way that nothing and no one else has. So much gratitude for Ysaye M. Barnwell and Sweet Honey in the Rock.
Thanks for posting this. It is so beautiful and moving.
#RIP #KimberlyRaeBoyd, my wife, friend, lover. Your song baby.
oh the sweetest memories
I listened to this song for the first time the night my 22-year-old son was reported missing in the Mississippi River last spring and while I waited for them to find him. It's one of very few songs I can listen to now, months later. Thank you for sharing it.
(holding you in my heart, Melissa...how are you doing?)
I am so sorry! I pray the Lord comforts you, my Sister!
I am so sorry for the loss of your son. Seems like the best we can do is to live and love in the moment...
I am just seeing this many years later. May SPIRIT bless you and keep you and the soul of your son.
@@JKBJenn thank you, Jennifer I am seeing this response four years later. I am still wanting sweet memories as I walk day by day in love and hope.
Many years ago I heard Sweet Honey in the Rock at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival. I sat on the grass in front of the open-air concert stage and listened to this song for the first time. I decided then and there, It will be one of the songs played at my funeral, when that comes.....hopefully not for a long time. That's how much this song and especially this performance mean to me.
The choir I sing with performed this last season. It was after my dear mom passed away. This song will forever bind me to my mom. "I know that I am you and you are me and we are one." <3
keiali'i reichel version is the best. stay up from hawaii
I read the lyrics at my mom's funeral.
What a beautiful song and poem...
This song has been playing in my head for a few days now but all that played was the bass part. Glad I finally remembered the lyrics. Love this song.
They have such great harmony and blending of their voices.
u love this song
Well , I was introduced to the group way back when my martial arts instructor married one of the ladies in the group. I have come to appreciate them tremendously and they are a living part of me. Wanting Memories is a beautiful and meaningful song ....but if it is the only song that youve heard from Sweet Honey , you are cheating yourself in the cruelest kind of way. Get to know some of their songs- make them an intricate part of your soul.. They are no less than delicate pearls of some deep deep messages of the soul.
Do you have a recipe for king pow chicken? Something that incorporates marble almond chocolate snake IG de? Or wooden roof tiles,
Bless your heart beloved love is all that truly matters in the end nothing else can dim all the beautiful memories we create within our life
