Story Behind The Song
I love birds and they are very family oriented
and I got the idea that we could learn so
much from them and how they sit up in the
trees and sing their songs and when I'm
feeling a little down I walk outside and listen
to the birds and it always cheers me up
Song Description
This song describes the feelings of hopelessness and how just listening to the birds
sing can bring a happy feeling to your life.

Lyrics
PERFECT HARMONY copyright@carolynjustice
V1:
WOKE UP TODAY, NEEDING A FRIEND
BUT NO ONE WAS THERE THAT I COULD TALK TO
I OPENED UP MY WINDOW TO FEEL THE WIND.
WISH I COULD FIND SOMETHING TO CHASE AWAY THESE BLUES.
V2:
THEN A MELODY FLOATS DOWN THROUGH THE WINDOW OF MY HOME.
IT SOUNDS SO SWEET AND CLEAR.SUDDENLY I DIDN'T FEEL QUITE SO ALONE.
HAPPINESS WAS ALL THAT I COULD HEAR.
CHORUS I:
HIGH IN THE TREETOPS THE BIRDS SING THEIR SONG.
I THINK I'LL WRITE SOME WORDS SO I CAN SING ALONG.
WE'LL SING ABOUT LOVE, HOME, AND FAMILY.
THE WHOLE WORLD WILL HEAR US SING IN PERFECT HARMONY.
INSTRUMENTAL
CHORUS II:
WE WILL SING IN PERFECT HARMONY.
WONDER WHAT HTEIR WORDS WOULD SAY,
WHAT MESSAGE WOULD THEY BRING.
NOTHING IS SWEETER THAN THE NOTES FROM ON HIGH.
NOT EVEN THE BEAUTY OF A BABY'S LULLABYE.
REPEAT CHORUS I:
HIGH IN THE TREETOPS THE BIRDS SING THEIR SONG.
I THINK I'LL WRITE SOME WORDS SO I CAN SING ALONG.
WE'LL SING ABOUT LOVE, AND HOME, AND FAMILY.
THE WHOLE WORLD WILL HEAR US SING IN PERFECT HARMONY.
REPEAT CHORUS II:
WE WILL SING IN PERFECT HARMONY.
I WONDER WHAT THEIR WORDS WOULD SAY.
WHAT MESSAGE THEY WOULD BRING.
NOTHING IS SWEETER THAN THE NOTES FROM ON HIGH.
NOT EVEN THE BEAUTY OF A BABY'S LULLABYE.
END.
