Precious Memories

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
