Dance With My Father
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved
If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again
Ooh, ooh
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream...

这首歌曲是歌手Luther Vandross以他真实的经历和温馨的童年记忆为背景而创作的。他的歌声倾注了他对父亲的深切爱和无限的怀念，随着清幽的钢琴伴奏声,他的歌声犹如止不住泉水徐徐而出，思念中浸透着伤感之情。。。
这首歌曾获得第46届格莱美音乐的年度最佳歌曲奖。
和父亲起舞
追溯我的童年时代
生活中的我还是天真无邪
父亲喜欢把我举得高高
和母亲一起带着我翩翩起舞，而后
抱着我摇晃着转来转去
直到我进入梦乡才把我抱上楼
我深信
我沉浸在爱之中
如果我能再有机会
同他散步，同他一起跳舞
我愿那伴奏的歌曲永不终止
因为我渴望着，渴望着，渴望着能再一次和父亲起舞
噢，噢
当我不听母亲的话时
我任性地投入到父亲的怀抱
他使我欢笑感到安心舒适，就这样，这样地
使我最后还是听妈妈的话去做
当我入睡的一个深夜里
他在被单上放一个美元给我
我从不相信他
竟会离我而去
如果我能幸运地看上最后一眼
踏上最后一个舞步，和我父亲跳上最后一次舞
我愿那伴奏的歌曲永不终止
因为我渴望着，渴望着，渴望着能再一次和父亲起舞
有时我在她的门外悄悄地听
我听到她，我母亲在为父亲哭泣
我宁愿不为我 而只为她祈祷
我宁愿不为我 而只为她祈祷
我知道我祈祷得实在很虔诚
但真能把她心爱的男人呼唤回来？
我知道这几乎不可能
但我的主啊，她指望能再一次和父亲起舞
每当深夜我进入梦乡
这成为我全部和永远的梦境...
