Dance With My Father(與父親共舞) 
 
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 '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 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 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 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 
與父親共舞 在我孩提時 當(dāng)天真還未被生活吞噬 父親常將我高高舉起 同母親和我共舞 有抱起我直到我安睡 然后包我上樓 我確信我被深愛著 如果我可以在有一個機會 與他在漫步一次,再共舞一次 我會彈奏一支無終無盡的歌曲 我是多么想再次與父親共舞 當(dāng)我與母親想法不一致 不聽話的我就跑去找父親 他會逗我,安慰我 最后還是要我照媽媽說的做 哪天晚上當(dāng)我熟睡 他在被單下留下一塊錢 從為想到他會離我而去 假如我能最后偷看一眼 與他跳最后一步,舞最后一次 我會彈奏一支無終無盡的歌曲 因為我是多么想再次與父親共舞 有時我在母親的門旁傾聽 我聽到他為父親而哭泣 我為她祈禱多過我自己 我為她祈禱多過我自己 我知道我祈求的東西太多 但是上帝你能否 送回她唯一愛過的男人 我知道你通常不這樣做 但是親愛的上帝 她是多么想再次與父親共舞 每天夜里當(dāng)我熟睡著,我就只做這個夢 


黑人歌手Luther Vandross的Dance With My Father是其傾情制作的一首同名主打歌曲。這首歌曲是Luther Vandross自己真實的故事, 一個7歲孩子的記憶,一點點憂傷,更多地卻是那些遙遠而溫暖的細節(jié)和情緒在歌曲中傾注了自己對父親深深的懷念。 清淡的鋼琴伴奏,和他傷感的演,在愛里透露出更多的是傷感。
