父亲节:与父亲跳舞 Dance with My Father

（单词翻译）

Back when I was a child,

Before life removed all the innocence¹,

My father would lift me high,

And dance with my mother and me,

And then...

Spin² me around til' 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,

Then finally make me do just what my momma 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 how my momma cried for him

I pray for her even more than me...

I pray for her even more than me.....

I know I'm praying for much too much,

But could you send back, The only man she loved.

I know you don't do it usually,

But dear Lord³ she's dying⁴,

To dance with my father again.

Every night I fall asleep
