I find 'th' sound so I pick 'that' and I can't find any 'l' sound, therefore I don't pick 'laughter'. ************* > Just hold my hand and walk with me, (walk with me) > into a sunlit path.

This one is really tricky because 'fallen' and 'falling' have almost the same sound. That's why I write 'guess'. ************* > Knowing better, I dared to sing along.

I'm sure that some of you can do much better than I could. BTW, Bob, you do much better than I did a long time ago, in 2003, when I asked people in smoe.org about this. The lyrics that I wrote at that time would look ridiculous if compared to what you did. Great work! Czesc, Desianto F.
