Precious Memories Lyrics
Precious memories, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger, ever near me
And the sacred past unfolds
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 appears
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness, of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
I remember, mother prayin'
Father too, on bended knee
The sun is sinkin', shadows fallin'
But their prayers still follow me
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness, of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
Precious memories fill my soul
Precious Memories Tips
Precious Memories I play with a capo on the 3rd fret and I use Drop D tuning, which is always optional. This one has a few chords beside the D and that includes the G, A/Db, Bm, E7 and A7. The rhythm is a simple root down up root up down up or root down up bass up down up.
You can play a melody break in this song fairly easy and that tends to keep the song moving along smoothly. I prefer melody breaks in many songs for that reason although some may disagree and like going off on tangents. That's fine also.
