单曲：爱的绅士，与你共舞 Dance With My Father

Artist：Luther Vandross
Song：Dance With My Father


back when i was a child
before life removed all the innocence¹
my father would lift me high
and dance with my father mother me then
spin² 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
