Green
One morning, before Daddio left for work he made a request, "I'd like you guys to work together to write a song today." Everyone pitched in with word and phrase suggestions, another one came up with a musical phrase, and soon a song was born. It was a fun project, and is still a family favorite, ten years later. We have sung the chorus two different ways. I will include one ending with the first verse and another for the second. You can choose your favorite.
This song was co-written with the kids.
