DANCE WITH MY FATHER
Artist: Luther Vandross Lyrics
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
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
When 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 how mama would cry for him
I'd pray for her even more than me
I'd pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much to much
But could you send her
The only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But Dear Lord
She's dying to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

Dance with My Father and Me
The song, “Dance with My Father”
is very special to me because it reminds me of our precious blissful
memories with my father when he was still alive. Whenever I hear this being
played on radios, or even on television, I shed tears for I abruptly feel
emotional thinking about the times that I have wasted when he was still around.
Now that he’s in heaven, it’s too late for me to do what should I have done
before. Just like hugging him so tight, saying thank you for everything he have
done and taught to us, and of course, expressing how much I love him because
for me, he's the best father in town. Currently, I end up missing him too much;
his voice, his looks, his jokes, his style of cooking and everything about him.
Missing the things he usually do whenever he see me (kissing my crown and
pinching my cheeks). How I wish I could turn back time and dance with
him, rewind the best memories we cherished with the whole family. Though he is
not with us anymore, I should accept the fact that he's gone forever and just
think positively. Maybe, he’s happy now. He finally rest peacefully in the
real world and he’s in good hands with our Almighty God.
