J.B.F. Wright, as performed by Willie Nelson
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
And 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
Precious memories, how they linger
And how they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold
In the stillness of the midnight
Echoes from the past I hear
Old-time singing, gladness bringing
From that lovely land somewhere
Precious memories, how they linger
And how they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold
As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
And as I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious memories flood my soul
Precious memories, how they linger
And how they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold

I remember mother praying
Father too, on bended knee
Sun is sinking, shadows falling
But their prayers still follow me
