I MUST SING THE SONGS has words and music by Agnes Wolohan von Burkleo to delight any audience. For the mature singer who can identify with the experience of having one’s vocal range lower a bit (Bb-E natural). Vocal Solo with Piano. Duration: 4:23

TEXT:

I sing the songs a little slower now, the high notes often are too high.

My range is definitely lower now, but it’s not time to say “good-bye.”

For I must sing the song, the songs that tell the smiles and tears

And I must sing the songs, the songs that shine beyond the years.

It never was a question of perfection of the voice,

It always was a matter of the daring and the choice,

And I still choose the songs to say the joy and pain I see,

And I still love the songs, because the songs are singing me, (and you and me).
