Precious Memories

Fortunate are those who have good memories of their past. There are many who come from disfunctional families that want to leave their past behind them and move on. This song is for those who have been blessed with pleasant memories.

 6    6   -6    7     7   7  -6  6
Pre-cious mem-'ries, un-seen an-gels,

  8   -8    7    7   -8  8  -8
Sent from some-where to my soul;

 6    6   -6  7    7  7  -6   6
How they lin-ger, ev-er near me,

 8   7  -8   7    8  -8   7
And the sa-cred past un-fold.

chorus

 9    8    9     8    8    8  -8   7
Pre-cious mem-'ries, how they lin-ger,

 7    7  -8  7   -8   7  8  7
How they ev-er flood my so-ul;

 6  6   -6     7   7  7  -6    6
In the still-ness of the mid-night,

 8    7    -8   7     8   -8   7
Pre-cious, sa-cred scenes un-fold.

verse 2
Precious father, loving mother,
fly across the lonely years;
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear.

verse 3
In the stillness of the midnight,
Echoes from the past I hear;
Oldtime singing, gladness bringing,
From the lovely land somewhere.

verse 4
As I travel on life's pathway,
Know not what the years may hold;
As I ponder, hope grows fonder,
Precious mem'ries flood my soul.
