If anyone knows the lyrics to Paul Petersen's song "My Dad" could you please send them to me. I know this site is for Folf music but I cannot find the lyrics. My own Dad passed away last Thursday and I want to read the lyrics at His memorial Service. Please help if you can Cecil [e-mail]

My Dad

<-Artist: Paul Petersen
-(Shelly Fabares' bro on "The Donna Reed Show")
-peak Billboard position # 6 in 1962-63
-Words and Music by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil


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"
