Franklin, Aretha - Precious Memories Lyrics






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
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear.

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

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.

    Someone please tell me the meaning of Precious Memories.

    T.... S....

    Basically the song is about as you live life and go through things bad and good, loss of loved ones, as you remember and look over your life and how God brought you through and that leaves you with "precious memories", he said I will never leave you nor forsake you.

  22. K.... J....
