Fred Rogers of 'Mr. Rogers Neighborhood' passed away this morning. He had been fighting Cancer - and lost the battle just a few hours ago. His show had been on TV for 32 years - and generations of children grew up watching him including myself.
The guy was an institution for American kids. I remember sitting in front of the tv with my mom and brother watching the show - and singing the song....."Won't You Be My Neighbor?".
We often made fun of him as adults - but we were all shaped & influenced by him as kids.
Rest In Peace Mr. Rogers. Thanks for the memories.
Here's to you.....
"It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...
It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...
I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please?
Please won't you be my neighbor?"
Won't You Be My Neighbor? é 1967, Fred M. Rogers
