I Sing Because I Love to sing

Those who read the links on my web site might wonder about the title. Yes, I do sing because I love to sing but there is more.

As a child, I often woke in the morning to hear my Father singing. He had a good singing voice although considered himself to be a ‘Good Bathroom singer’. There was one song which he remembered from his schooldays which he often sang. The words were:

“I sing because I love to sing,
Because Instinctive fancies move;
Because it hurts no earthly thing,
Because it pleases those I love”.

If anyone reading this web site knows this song, I would be very interested to know where it originated and who composed it.

Anne Wilkins.
