about

This is a song I made on January 1st, 2020. I LOVE MY FATHER is an homage to my pop Stephen Michael Schwartz. He is a children's song writer who started the well know children's group Parachute Express. He is one of the best people I have ever known, and I'm so lucky to call him my Dad!

Happy Father's Day! I hope this songs bring you as much joy as I had making it.

lyrics

Stephen Michael Schwartz
That's my father
Yea we look alike
Why you even bother
Got the curly hair
He super unaware
He doesn’t even care
When all the single ladies stare

He’s a funny guy
Yea he’s a charmer
He gives me extra strength
Like a suit of armor
Told me once he got abducted
By a flying saucer
Now he writes sweet poetry
Just Like his name was Chaucer

I love my father
And everything that the man stood for
I dug my daddy
If he had he would have given me more
Much more than this

Let tell you little story bout my pops
Used be the one on top
Callin the shots
Constantly writing bops
Had to go take this record deal with RCA
1974 like minds with Stevie, James, and Ray
So elated he’d found greatness
Early in his career
Only twenty one
Living without fear
First records hit the charts
It didn’t go that far
He got that telegram
Cut him deep, leaving scars

That’s when he got depressed
Started drinking bad,
His life felt like a mess
His wife still left him fast
He thought about his kid
He wrote music for him
And then he realized
This is what could make him big

He starting writing tunes
For Gymboree
And as the music's growing
So did his whole family
He met the love his life
And now he’s here to see
His second son is loving
Making music history

I love my father
And everything that the man stood for
I dug my d-A-d-d-y
If he had he would have given me much more than this

Oh daddy oh daddy
Can you hear me
I love the man,
I dug the man
