This ballad is beautiful and thank you for posting it. I also have a cd of Harry Secombe's songs and he sings this ballad. His version is also beautiful.
@justjudi2003 Found it!! I tried to cut copy & paste the link but couldn't for some reason. But put Perry Como-The Father Of Girls in the You Tube search engine & someone that has the video "In Memory Of Dad" has it. It's DEFINITELY Perry Como!!:-)
Ervin Drake will be remembered for two songs closely associated with Perry, his 1953 recording "I Believe" and the 1967 single "The Father of Girls" ... quoted out of a family book that David Drakes dad's cousin Joan (Drake) White wrote ...

@Katzi No, It wasn't. It was written by Ervin Drake.

The song was originally written by Perry Como. It's SO beautiful! I grew up listening to my dad's CDs (but before that, tapes & records) of Mr. Como.

I wrote a parody. When there is a threat of a cold, you worry...
When there is a threat of the flu, you do more than that, you pray.
Pray that we don't get swine flu,
Or any kind of flu,
Pray that we don't get the flu at all,
When there is a threat of a cold, you worry,
But when there is a threat of the flu, you do more than that, you pray.
(My parody "Pray That We Don't Get The Flu")
I love Perry's version of The Father of Girls, by the way.
