​Notes:This is a general choir song and may quickly become a choir favourite..  It can be used as your "choir" song - the one that you always have on hand to sing and good for any ocassion.  For younger grades it is good to sing the song in unison and not worry about the second part.  You may want to have half the choir sing the parts that parts written for one section but come together in unison on the melody during the 2 part sections.

Words:
May your life be filled with song.
And may your friends all sing along.
May your heart be true and strong.
May you always have a song.

May your life be filled with love.
May the sun always shine above.
Go in peace just like a dove.
May you always have a song.

May music be part of the joy within your heart.
May you fell it deep within your soul.
May the gentle harmony of a tender melody
make your spirit whole.

May your life be filled with song.
And may your friends all sing along.
May your heart be true and strong.
May you always have a song.
