Song For My Father
1965 Horace Silver
If there was ever a man
Who was generous, gracious and good
That was my dad
The man
A human being so true
He could live like a king
‘Cause he knew
The real pleasure in life
…
To be devoted to
And always stand by me
So I’d be unafraid and free
I am dedicating this cartoon to my Dad. He is playing the vibes here. The musical staff and notes represent his wife Bernice and his children and grandchildren.
