Precious Memories

Precious memories, unseen angels Sent from somewhere to my soul How they linger, ever near me And the sacred past unfolds 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 Precious memories how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness, of the midnight Precious sacred scenes unfold I remember Mother praying Father too, on bended knee The sun is sinking, shadows falling But their prayers still follow me Precious memories how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness, of the midnight Precious sacred scenes unfold Precious memories fill my soul --- Precious Memories - Alan Jackson
