Paul Anka es un cantante, compositor y actor canadiense nacido el 30 de julio de 1941 en Ottawa en el seno de una familia de origen libanés.
Su formación musical es breve: estudió piano con Winnifred Rees y teoría con Frederick Karam, cantando en el coro que este último dirigía en la iglesia siria ortodoxa de San Elías.
Animado por sus padres, grabó su primer single "I Confess" (Confieso) a la edad de 14 años. En 1957 marchó a Nueva York donde realizó pruebas para la ABC (American Broadcasting Company) con la canción "Diana"

[Intro]
EmEmAmB7Em
[Verse 1]
Em Everyday my Papa would work Am To help to make ends meet B7 To see that we would eat Em Keep those shoes upon my feet Em Every night my Papa would take me Am And tuck me in my bed B7 Kiss me on my head Em After all my prayers were said Em Growing up with him was easy Am Time just flew on by B7 The years began to fly Em He aged and so did I
[Chorus]
CB7Em I could tell, that Mama wasn't well CAmEm Papa knew and deep down so did she, so did she... CB7Em When she died, Papa broke down and cried CAmEm All he said was, "God, why not take me?"
[Verse 2]
Em Everynight he sat there sleeping Am In his rocking chair B7 He never went upstairs Em All because she wasn't there Em Then one day my Papa said, "Son, Am I'm proud the way you've grown... B7 Make it on your own... Em Oh, I'll be ok alone."
