Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper - Precious Memories
Wilma Lee Cooper and Stoney Cooper singing Precious Memories. Precious Memories Precious memories, unseen angels Sent from somewhere to my soul How they linger, ever near me And the sacred past unfold Precious memories, how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness of the midnight Precious sacred scenes unfold Precious father, and dear sweet loving mother Fly across the long and the lonely dreary years And my old home scenes of my dear sweet childhood In fond memories they all reappear Precious memories, how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness of the midnight Precious sacred scenes unfold It was written by J.B.F. Wright in 1925. *Note* Radio broadcast version in this video.
