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 so-ul;
In the stillness of the midnight,
Precious, sacred scenes un-fold.
verse 2:
Precious father, loving mother,
fly across the lonely years;
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear.
verse 3:
In the stillness of the midnight,
Echoes from the past I hear;
Oldtime singing, gladness bringing,
From the lovely land somewhere.
verse 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.
