MY DAD
(Barry Mann / Cynthia Weil)

Paul Petersen - 1962
Bobby Vee - 1964
Davy Jones - 1965



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"
