Singalong version of “The Fountain in the Park” also known as “While Strolling Through the Park One Day.” The song was published in 1884 and is credited to Ed Haley, though some belive the song dates to 1880 and was written by Robert A. Keiser, to whom Haley dedicated the song.
This song is in the public domain, and the piano accompaniment was created especially for this video.
Our singalongs are designed to be fun for the whole family, including loved ones who have Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Singing together can help people living with dementia better connect with family and friends and their own joy-filled memories.
All of our singalongs feature uplifting, positive, and widely known songs. We select singable keys and tempos, then add easy-to-read lyrics and an on-screen singalong leader. This video features Songs & Smiles co-founder Eric Kolb.
Lyrics:
While strolling through the park one day in the very month of May,
I was taken by surprise by a pair of roguish eyes.
In a moment my poor heart was stole away.
A smile was all she gave to me.
Of course it made me happy as could be.
I immediately raised my hat, and finally she remarked.
I never shall forget the lovely afternoon
I met her at the fountain in the park.
Then the organ played a wedding tune in the very month of June.
On her finger went a ring, as the choir began to sing.
In a moment we were on our honeymoon.
And then we raised a family.
We never knew how happy we could be.
Though the future may be cold and dark,
There'll always, always be a spark.
So that when we're old and gray,
I'll still recall the day I met her at the fountain in the park.
