Precious Memories
[Verse 1]
Precious memories, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger ever near me
As the sacred past unfolds
[Chorus]
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
[Verse 2]
Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear
[Chorus]
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
[Verse 3]
As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious memories flood my soul
[Chorus]
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
