Precious Memories [core]

Precious memories, 4 unseen 1 angels
Sent from somewhere to my 5 soul
1 How they linger 4 ever 1 near me
And the 5 sacred past un- 1 fold

Chorus
Precious memories, how they linger
4 How they ever flood my 1 soul
In the stillness 4 of the 1 midnight
Precious 5 sacred scenes un- 1 fold

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

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
