Precious Memories

1. Precious mem'ries, unseen angels, Sent from somewhere to my soul: How they linger, ever near me, And the sacred past unfold. Chorus: Precious mem'ries, how they linger, How they ever flood my soul; In the stillness of the midnight, Precious, sacred scenes unfold 2. Precious father, loving mother, Fly across the lonely years; And old home scenes of my childhood In fond memory appear. Chorus: Precious mem'ries, how they linger, How they ever flood my soul; In the stillness of the midnight, Precious, sacred scenes unfold 3. In the stillness of the midnight, Echoes form the past I hear; Old-time singing, gladness bringing, From that lovely land somewhere. Chorus: Precious mem'ries, how they linger, How they ever flood my soul; In the stillness of the midnight, Precious, sacred scenes unfold 4. As I travel on life's pathway, Know not what the years may hold; As I ponder, hope grows fonder, Precious mem'ries flood my soul. Chorus: Precious mem'ries, how they linger, How they ever flood my soul; In the stillness of the midnight, Precious, sacred scenes unfold
