Precious Memories

6 6 -6 7 7 7 -6 6
Precious mem’ries, unseen angels,

8 -8 7 7 -8 8 -8
Sent from somewhere to my soul;

6 6 -6 7 7 7 -6 6
How they linger, ever near me,

8 7 -8 7 8 -8 7
And the sacred past unfold.

chorus:

9 8 9 8 8 8 -8 7
Precious mem’ries, how they linger,

7 7 -8 7 -8 7 8 7
How they ever flood my so-ul;

6 6 -6 7 7 7 -6 6
In the stillness of the midnight,

8 7 -8 7 8 -8 7
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.
