Precious memories, unseen angels Sent from somewhere to my soul How they linger ever near me And the sacred scenes unfold CHORUS: 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 CHORUS: Precious memories, how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness of the midnight Precious sacred scenes unfold [Break - fiddle] As I travel on life's pathway Know not what the years may hold And 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 Precious sacred scenes unfold
