+++ Used by more than 10,000 families +++
The words go first. The song stays.
Anyone who has sung with an older person knows the small miracle: someone who struggles to find the words of the day begins, all the same, the second verse of a song from when they were young. This book was made for that moment.
Songs of a Lifetime gathers 64 beloved old songs, all with the complete words and in large print, so an older reader can follow each line with a finger while singing. No abbreviations and no “repeat chorus”: when the chorus returns, it is printed again in full.
Inside the book you will find:
Every song includes a warm two-line introduction explaining who wrote it, when it appeared, and how it was traditionally sung.
A gentle opening guide offers practical suggestions for singing with someone with dementia: start the verse and wait, never quiz or correct, and remember that one song may be enough. A final section invites families to write down the songs that belong to their own story.
The 64 songs were published before 1930 and are presented as public-domain works, drawn from English-language traditions across the United States, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Canada, and Australia.
Ideal for:
A book for families, caregivers, activity coordinators, and choirs of two — because houses sound better with singing in them.
