♪♪♪ 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:

I have a garden in the park
Where children play and doggies bark
Where homeless people just like me
Can sit awhile and reverie

Until the end when skies go dark
And I will have to disembark
I have a garden in the park
