As I travel 

On life's pathway 

Knowing not what the years may hold 

As I ponder 

Hope grows fonder 

Precious memories flood my soul 



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 

Glide across the lonely years 

And old home's scenes 

From my childhood 

In fond memory appears



Precious memories 

How they linger 

Oh how they ever flood my soul 

In the stillness 

Of the midnight 

Precious sacred scenes unfold



Precious memories 

Unseen angels 

Sent from somewhere to my soul

How they linger

Ever near me

Heavens sacred cares unfold



Precious memories 

How they linger 

Oh how they ever flood my soul 

In the stillness 

Of the midnight 

Precious sacred scenes unfold 

Precious sacred scenes unfold
