Till Office Equipment and Florida Office Supply Cost for the sheet music is 4.25 but the mailing costs are probably that much, as they mailed it in a folder and then in a colorful envelope. It comes with lots of info about the song. Mr. Carroll Smith led the singing of this song weekly I think for the Lions Club there. It's the Lions club theme song and has been for years and years and years, since 1953 for sure, and is in their international song book.The words are not quite as I remember them . Billye-Mullins Smith I was so thrilled to learn of it. I was so little when I learned the words and have remembered the song all these years. Now I live in Ohio and never thought I'd find anyone who knew the song!!! Sharon Kanko
" I Want To Wake Up In The Morning Where The Orange Blossoms Grow"
Ah the miracle of the internet!!
Someone shared info with me that you might want to know!!!The words were written by the late Carroll Smith and music by Billye-Mullins Smith and the sheet music is now available!Billye Mullins is very very elderly but still alive and selling the sheet music through:
251 Ave. A. Southwest
Winter Haven,Florida
33880.
But rather than send out the international copyrighted words I will just refer you to Ms. Billye Mullins Smith sheet music so you can get a copy for yourself. Ms. Smith is still a pianist and teaches music and apparently traveled the world playing as a concert pianist.
110 10th ST SE El-Otis park
Winter Haven, FL 33880
I hope this helps you.It's worth ordering the sheet music just for the info page alone! Song has 1 verse and then one different ending. I'm glad I bought it :)
