precious memories
Precious memories, unseen angels Sent from somewhere to my soul How they linger, ever near me And the sacred scenes unfold  Precious memories, how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness of the midnight Precious, sacred scenes unfold  Precious father, loving mother Fly across the lonely years And old home scenes of my childhood In fond memory appear  In the stillness of the midnight Echoes from the past I hear Old-time singing, gladness bringing From that lovely land somewhere  I remember mother praying Father, too, on bended knee Sun is sinking, shadows falling But their prayers still follow me  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
