DancewithMyFather是LutherVandross2003年6月发行的同名专辑中的一首。这是LutherVandross所有唱片中的第一张Billboard200排行榜的冠军专辑。在专辑中LutherVandross亲自创作了大部分歌曲,并担任监制,制作人。
2004年,这张专辑获得了第46届格莱美最佳R&B专辑、年度最佳歌曲等奖项。而这张专辑之所以定名为《DanceWithMyFather》,是因为LutherVandross对父亲的纪念,在爱里透露出更多的是伤感。
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
