My dad used to sing this to me when I was little. I found the sheet music at an antiques show and was able to accompany him on the piano before he passed away.

My parents always listened to Perry Cuomo and Jerry Vale. I never gave much mind to the songs..not punk enough. But woke up with a song that I knew was perry cuomo. Had it in my head all day. Looked it up, and it was this song. Then I started to cry. Both of my parents passed away and this was them saying hello
