Most parents would love to sing a lullaby to their children to tuck them to sleep.
We sing them a song that would make them sleepy so we can have our much-needed and awaited quiet time. But sometimes, we want to spend a few moments with them.
We entertain them and make them laugh – adorable moments with them that we want to engrave in our memories. After all, they wouldn’t be this young forever.
Actor and father Dan Fowlks shared this wonderful moment with her daughter.
The rockstar he is was all dressed up from his date with his wife when he entered the room. On the bed was their (then) ten-month-old daughter, happy to see daddy home.
As his wife drove the nanny home, he spent this time singing a little ditty to her daughter.
Dan has always been musically talented.
He grabbed the ukulele, captured this precious moment as he strummed the strings, and started belting out to Bobby Darin’s “Dream Lover.”
The song was a classic rock n’ roll hit released in 1959.
It talks about a guy praying for a dream lover to come his way. It may not be a father-daughter song, but Bobby’s way of describing his “dream lover” could be something a father would hope to hear about his daughter one day. As the lyrics say: “a girl to hold in my arms and know the magic of her charms.”
Dan’s daughter quickly paid attention to him singing the song.
His daughter propped into a sitting position and looked lovingly at her father. Dan started singing the song, strumming that ukulele with all his heart.
His daughter definitely loved the performance as she cooed, squealed, and laughed.
Dan couldn’t help but laugh at his daughter’s reaction.
Yes, it was a bit funny, but it was also a heartwarming scene. Any parent would certainly chuckle seeing their little one enjoying the song they’re singing.
His daughter started clapping and bouncing on the bed. We bet this little girl’s going to grow up and watch so many concerts in the future with this same level of enthusiasm.
He went on with the song, to his daughter’s delight.
Dan went nearer, guarding the baby from the edge of the bed. She did what seemed like a head bang as if she was rocking out to her daddy’s private concert.
What a beautiful father-daughter moment that they would both look back on in the future.
This video was shared on The Dad’s Facebook Page.
The video had 19 million views with over 188,000 comments. Many people have also shared it praising Dan for spending quality time with his daughter, which, sadly, not all people get to experience.
It’s remarkable to see something this beautiful in this day and age.
One commenter, Cindy Lawrence Sutton, shared how she loved singing to her daughter.
She said:
“I always sang to my daughter, and she is 25 now and still asks me to sing those songs, and I can tell they always hit her heart in a very cherished place.”
Watch this blissful performance by Dan Fowlks, and his daughter’s giggles will indeed paint a smile on your face.
