I told you I get sentimental this time of year

          I love this song. I am reminded of so many that I love and I miss so much. My dad, Jim's dad, my grandparents, friends, various family members,....my son. The memory of them is ever so fresh in my mind and my heart.

          Precious Memories

          Precious memories, unseen angels,
          Sent from somewhere to my soul;
          How they linger, ever near me,
          And the sacred past unfold.

            Chorus
            Precious memories, how they linger,
            How they ever flood my soul;
            In the still ness of the midnight,
            Precous, sacred scenes unfold.

          Precious father, loving mother,
          Fly across the lonely years;
          And old homescenes of my childhood,
          In fond memory appears.

            (chorus)

          In the stillness of the midnight,
          Echoes from the past I hear;
          Old time singing, gladness bringing,
          From that lovely land somewhere.

            (chorus)

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

            Chorus
            Precious memories, how they linger,
            How they ever flood my soul;
            In the still ness of the midnight,
            Precous, sacred scenes unfold.
