David Bruce Cassidy (born April 12, 1950) is an American actor, singer, songwriter and guitarist. He is best known for his role as the character of Keith Partridge in the 1970s musical/sitcom The Partridge Family. He was one of pop culture's most celebrated teen idols, enjoying a successful pop career in the 1970s, and still performs today.
Cassidy was one of the contestants on Celebrity Apprentice 2011, in which his daughter Katie Cassidy made a brief appearance at her father's request.
David Cassidy was born at Flower Fifth Avenue Hospital in New York City, New York, the son of actor Jack Cassidy and actress Evelyn Ward. His father was of half Irish and half German ancestry, and his mother is of mostly Colonial American descent, along with smaller amounts of Irish and Swiss. Some of his mother's ancestors were among the founders of Newark, New Jersey.
As his parents were frequently touring on the road, he spent his early years being raised by his maternal grandparents in a middle class neighborhood in West Orange, New Jersey. In 1956, he found out from neighbors' children that his parents had been divorced for over two years and had not told him. David's parents had decided because he was at such a young age, it would be better for his emotional stability to not discuss it at that time. They were gone often with theater productions and home life remained the same.
Some roads are long
Some roads are heard
And sometimes I can't find my way
Just like tonight
I'm in the dark
There's really nothin left to say
I could get crazy
I could get mad
But right now baby
I just feel sad
Chorus:
I don't know how
I don't know where
I lost the one true love I had
I'll turn around and face the wind
Somehow I've got to fly again
No broken wings can keep me down
What I have lost can still be found
I think that maybe come lose or win
This road could take me to love again
I don't know how
I don't know when
I lost the one true love I had
I don't know how
I don't know when
But I am going to love again
Can't let myself think about the rain
Or the cold empty night starin at me again
I close my eyes somehow I've got to forget
Once you kiss that love good bye
You can never go home again
I think that maybe come lose or win
This road could take me to love again
I don't know how
I don't know when
