Текст Luther Vandross – Dance With My Father
Текст:
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
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 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’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear how my mama 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
