Recently, I had some songs on Limewire, but Java was uninstalled. I reinstalled Java and went to Limewire and my songs were gone. I have all of the Limewire memory in case Limewire got deleted. Is there a way where I can use the memory to bring back my songs? That would be

Uninstalling java shouldn't have affected your library. Had you changed the location of your saved folder? The default location is C:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\Shared. Try searching your hdd for your files. From your desktop go to Start>Search>All Files and Folders, and search for them by title or file type(mp3).

If they did get deleted, you'll need a file recovery program to get them back. See this thread for advice: File recovery advice!

When I opened Limewire, it opened from the C: drive while the songs were saved in a Limewire file in the D: drive. Is there a way to move a data of songs from the D: drive Limewire folder the the C: drive Limewire folder?

To move files between my two hdd drives I either just cut and paste or copy and paste depending on what I'm doing.

If your saving files to a different drive than what LW is on, make sure both drives are turned on before starting LW or it won't be able to find the folder. You can change your saved folder by opening LW and going to Tools>Options>Saving, and browse to the folder with your files in it. Then you can make that folder your saved folder again if you want.
