小时候,他是你心中最魁梧高大的偶像,小时候,他的肩膀是你哭泣时最想依靠的地方,可不知哪一天,忽然发现,父亲,他也老了,正如,我们早已长大。可是,在父亲眼中,你仍是小时候爱哭爱闯祸的宝贝,最可爱的宝贝,最宝贝的宝贝……
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 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 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'd never never 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 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》充满了Luther Vandross对父亲的纪念,清淡的钢琴伴奏,和他伤感的演唱,在爱里透露出更多的是思念和伤感。 此曲获第46届格莱美音乐的年度最佳歌曲。
