Dance With My Father
-Luther Vandross
back when i was a child
before life removed all the innocence
my father would lift me high
and dance with my father mother me 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 love,love,love
to dance with my father again
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
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 love,love,love
to dance with my father again
sometimes i'd listen outside her door
and i'd hear how my mother cried for him
i pray for her even more than me
i pray for her even more than me
i know i'm praying so much too much
but could you send back the only man she loved
i know u don't do it usually
but dear lord she's dying
to dance with my father again
every night i fall asleep this is all i ever dream

歌词翻译：
小时候， 天真懵懂。
父亲会把我高高举起，
跟我和母亲一起翩翩起舞。
然后， 抱着我转圈，直到我入睡。
父亲会把我抱上楼。
我知道父亲深深爱着我。
如果我还有一次机会，
跟父亲散步，与父亲共舞，
我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子。
我是多么想 再跟父亲跳一次舞。
当我不想听母亲话的时候，
我就会跑到父亲跟前。
他会想办法让我笑起来，安慰我。
但是最后让我照母亲的话去做。
那一晚在我睡觉的时候，
他在我的床单下放了一块钱。
从来没有想过父亲会离开我。
如果我能再看父亲一眼，
再迈出一步舞步， 再跟父亲跳最后一支舞。
我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子。
因为我是多么想 再跟父亲跳一次舞。
有时候我会在母亲的门外，
听见她思念父亲的哭声。
我为母亲祈祷… 我为母亲祈祷...
我知道我的要求有点过分，
但是你能不能 把她唯一深爱的男人送回来？
我知道你一般不会这么做，
但是我的主啊，
她是多么想再和父亲共舞啊！
每晚入睡以后，
同样的梦境重复出现…
