Precious memories, unseen angels Sent from somewhere to my soul How they linger ever near me And the sacred past unfolds Precious Father, loving Mother Fly across the lonely years And the home scenes of my childhood In fond memory appear Precious memories, how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness of the midnight Precious sacred scenes unfold 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 Precious memories, how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness of the midnight Precious sacred scenes unfold Precious memories, how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness of the midnight Precious sacred scenes unfold Oh, how those precious memories They flood my soul
