Cat. #1204 (MFH #499) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on August 31, 1971
VERSE 1
Precious memories, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger ever near me
An' th sacred past unfolds
CHORUS:
Precious memory, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In th still-ness of th midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold
VERSE 2
Precious Father, loving Mother
Fly across th lonely years
And old home scenes, of my childhood
In fond memory appear
VERSE 3
In th stillness of th midnight
Echoes from th past I hear
Ole time singin', gladly springin'
From th lovely land somewhere
VERSE 4
As I travel on life's pathway
Look, not what the years may hold
As I ponder, O grow fonder
Precious memory floods my soul
