    Made me cry when I first saw this a few months ago, but watching it now makes me cry much more. You will be missed.

    I miss him a lot. Sometimes his voice pops into my head and I think...I wonder what beautiful and bittersweet words he is saying now. I wish I could hear them.

    You know, just beginning to think I missed a trick by never learning to dance.

    Ah well. Baseball had its moments.

    The song is called, "What'll I do?" It was written by Irving Berlin and has been performed by many different artist. The version that's being played while David is dancing is sung by Nat King Cole.
