Paul I used to watch Donna Reed every night with My Dad. I was 16 when you first recorded this song. My Father and I sat and watched together. I will never forget I turned to my Dad and said that's you too Dad. He's gone now but never forgotten. You look and sound as wonderful as you did when we were young thanks for the memories.

Man, I remember watching the original show with my family where he sang this song back in 1960. There was not a dry eye in the house.

Paul, what a wonderful video! What wonderful memories this song brings back..:) If I am not mistaken, that beautiful opening guitar was non other than Glen Campbell (In the original studio recording).

Thanks so much!
