“
My son was to stand at my side and sing tonight – but now I have no son.
— The Jazz Singer
My son was to stand at my side and sing tonight – but now I have no son.
I came home with a heart full of love, but you don't want to understand. Some day you'll understand, the same as Mama does.
My son came to me in my dreams—he sang Kol Nidre so beautifully. If he would only sing like that tonight—surely he would be forgiven.
Here he belongs. If God wanted him in His house, He would have kept him there. He's not my boy anymore—he belongs to the whole world now.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain't heard nothin' yet!
Do what is in your heart, Jakie—if you sing and God is not in your voice — your father will know.
