Tonic Sol-Fa

Tonic sol-fa (or tonic sol-fah) is a pedagogical technique for teaching sight-singing, invented by Sarah Ann Glover (1785–1867) of Norwich, England and popularised by John Curwen, who adapted it from a number of earlier musical systems. It uses a system of musical notation based on movable do solfège, whereby every note is given a name according to its relationship with other notes in the key: the usual staff notation is replaced with anglicized solfège syllables (e.g. do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do) or their abbreviations (d, r, m, f, s, l, t, d).

I just got one more mile to go before I sleep
I've been traveling all day long
Wishing I could wind the clock back up again
And when I wake I'd find the years would all be gone

Never did I hear how easy life would be
Or the road less traveled that I've traveled by
And if this day should be taken as I lay me down to rest
I will thank the Lord above for my sweet time

 Looking back I see the blessings in my life
I feel the love I held so close at hand
And nothing seems to matter quite as much to me
As those days I could've been a better man

Yeah, the sun is going down now
And the stars don't seem to shine as bright as they did when I was a kid
The ships out on the horizon probably won't sail in
But it doesn't stop me wishing for what might have been

Never did I hear how easy life would be
Or the road less traveled that I've traveled by
And if this day should be taken as I lay me down to rest
I will thank the Lord above for my sweet time
