A Moment in Time...to remember...Father's Day

Remembering Dad

Through an Old Television Show

 

It's Father's Day...and...to honor dads everywhere, I took a page from a old song written by Barry Mann and his wife, Cynthia Weil, a half century ago.

 

 

The day:

 

October 25, 1962

 

The place:

 

The Donna Reed Show

 

...and...

 

THE MOMENT...

 

I will never forget....that has reminded me of my father ever since....

 

Jeff Stone (Paul Peterson)... 

 

...singing a song to his dad, Dr. Alex Stone (Carl Betz)...

 

  

So let's go back some 52 years ago to that October day and relive that moment....

The song....for all sons out there who had a father as wonderful as mine...

 

My Dad

 

He isn't much in the eyes of the world.
He'll never make history.

No, he isn't much in the eyes of the world,
But he is the world to me.

My dad, now here is a man.

To me he is everything strong;
No, he can't do wrong... my dad.

My dad, now he understands.

When I bring him troubles to share
Oh, he's always there...my dad.

When I was small I felt ten feet tall
When I walked by his side.

And everyone would say ...that's his son
And my heart would burst with pride.

My dad, oh I love him so.

And I only hope that some day
My own son will say

 

My dad ...now here is a man.

(I miss you, pop)
