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.
