Story Behind The Song
I prayed very long and hard one night, before going to sleep, and woke up in the middle of the night with this song going around in my head. I grabbed a pencil and paper, and wrote it all down then and there. It was like it was sent to me from above.

Lyrics
Gather 'round everyone, under my tree,
and listen now closely, listen to me.
Raise up your voices so that all can here,
and sing a sweet song of love, love
sing a sweet song of love.
Make it real pretty, you know that you can,
with sunshine and flowers and all holding hands.
Give it a try now and soon you will see,
you can sing a sweet song of love, love,
sing a sweet song of love.
Think of things beautiful,giving your heart,
we've got so much time today.
Sing it out loud and you'll see from the start,
It'll never go, never go away.
La la la la la........
Laughing and running through fields with bright sun,
we've got the world so come on everyone.
Smilin' with feelin' is where we should be,
singin' a sweet song of love, love,
singin' a sweet song of love.
