Paul Harvey has dementia, and he wasn't sure if he'd remember how to play one of his old compositions. But when the 79-year-old sat down at the piano, the song came back to him. His son, Nick, captured the touching moment on camera.
Nick, who is from East Sussex, U.K., told CBS News his dad wrote the song "Where's The Sunshine?" in 1981. "[It] was written for an original Imberhorne School (East Grinstead) production... when dad was head of music,"Nick explained in a tweet.
He later found sheet music of his dad's work, with lyrics written by his colleague Pete Talman, who was the head of drama at the music school. "It was a fantastic show. I remember it as if it were yesterday," Nick wrote.
