By Alan Jackson
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Precious memories, unseen angels,
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger, ever near me,
And the sacred past unfolds
[Chorus]
Precious memories how they linger,
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness, of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
[Verse 2]
Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
and old home scenes of my childhood
in fond memory appears
[Chorus]
Precious memories how they linger,
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness, of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
[Break]
[Verse 3]
I remember Mother praying
Father too, on bended knee
the sun is sinking, shadows falling
but their prayers still follow me
[Chorus]
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
