We feel so lucky to be able to sing with our twin sons, who are now 16 years old! David wrote this song to celebrate singing together as a family. We hope this song will encourage more families to sing together. Many friends added their voices to make a big chorus of our extended family – 47 voices in all!

Lyrics:
(Chorus:)
(Chorus:)
Family harmony
Come, let’s all gather 'round
Family harmony
Oh, what a beautiful sound
My grandpa used to sing to me
with his rumbling voice so deep
Old Man River and Too-ra-loo-ra
carried me off to sleep
(Chorus)
I heard my Dad sing from inside my Mom
He sang Beatles songs in his sweet bass
When I was a baby, there was music all around
I slept in a warm guitar case
(Chorus)
When I was in High School, I sang with my friends
My Dad helped us harmonize
When we finally got it, we couldn’t help but laugh
That sound was such a sweet surprise
(Chorus)
Now I sing with my wife and my sons
I love the way our voices blend
One day I hope to sing with my grandchildren, too
So the harmonies will never end
(Chorus)
