12021-04-28T08:40:40-04:00"Dance With My Father" by Luther Vandross, contributed by Ivy Tirok (2021)1plain2021-04-28T08:40:40-04:00My mum lost her father a few years ago. Every time this song would play on the radio, she would think about him and how much she would want to dance with her father again. Now, when the song plays, my dad (her husband) dances with her instead- to remind her that she is not alone in her grief.
Lyrics 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, ooh 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 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
