♪♪♪ SING ALONG ♪♪♪ as a piano plays the chords and melody (from the SOLO Edition of the Secular Hymnal). Singing along to a simple, chorded melody like this is an ideal way to develop your harmonizing skills!

Lyrics:

Together for so long, but seldom do we fight
The others want to know what we are doing right

We talk and listen, talk and listen, talk and listen
Day and night, and that is how we keep things right
We talk and listen, talk and listen, talk and listen
Day and night, and that is how we keep things right

With family and friends, or strangers met today
At home or work or school, things always go okay

We talk and listen, talk and listen, talk and listen
Day and night, and that is how we keep things right
We talk and listen, talk and listen, talk and listen
Day and night, and that is how we keep things right
