WrightPrecious memories, unseen angels,sent from somewhere to my soulHow they linger, every near meAnd the sacred past 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 appears.In the stillness of the midnightEchoes from the past I hearOld time singing gladness bringingfrom that lovely land somewhere.I remember Mother praying,Father too on bended kneeSun is sinking, shadows falling,But their prayers still follow me.As I travel on lifes pathwayKnow not what the years may holdAs I ponder hope grows fonderPrecious memories flood my soul Show more
