Precious memories, how they linger
And as I ponder, hope grows fonder
Fly across the lonely years
In the stillness of the midnight
How they linger, over near me
Precious memories flood my soul
Precious memories, how they linger
And the old home scenes of my childhood
Precious memories, how they linger
Precious, sacred scenes unfold
Precious, sacred scenes unfold
In the stillness of the midnight
And the sacred past unfold
And how they ever flood my soul
And how they ever flood my soul
Old-time singing, gladness bringing
Echoes from the past I hear
Precious memories, how they linger
As I travel on life's pathway
In fond memory appear
In the stillness of the midnight
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold
Know not what the years may hold
And how they ever flood my soul
How they ever flood my soul
Precious father, loving mother
From that lovely land somewhere
In the stillness of the midnight
