       Dance With My Father

　　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 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 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...

与父亲共舞

小时候，当我还是天真懵懂，父亲会把我高高举起和母亲起舞，然后……抱着我转圈，只到我睡着，父亲会把我抱上楼。

我深深地感觉到，我被爱着。

如果我还有一次机会，和父亲散步，与父亲共舞，我会放一支永不结束的舞曲。

我是多么想

再跟父亲跳一次舞

当我不想听妈妈的话的时候，我就会跑到父亲面前，他会安慰我，想办法让我笑起来。然后最后，我还是会照妈妈的话去做。

那一晚，在我睡着以后，他在我的床单下放了一块钱。

从来没有想过父亲会离开我。

如果我能再看父亲一眼，再迈一次步，再跳最后一支舞

我会放一首永远没有句点的曲子

因为我是多么想……

再跟父亲跳一次舞。

有时候，我会在母亲的门外，听见她的哭声，那是因为她思念父亲

我会为母亲祈祷

我会为母亲祈祷……

我知道我祈祷太多，奢望太过分。

但是上帝，你能不能

把她唯一的男人送回来？

我知道你通常是不会这么做的。

但是亲爱的上帝，她正在老去，他是多么想再和父亲共舞啊！

每晚，当我入睡以后

这个梦想重复出现。

Dance With My Father充满了Luther Vandross对父亲的纪念，Luther Vandross倾情制作的一首同名主打歌，整张专辑的聚焦点，Luther Vandross在歌曲中倾注了自己的心和灵魂，清淡的钢琴伴奏，和他伤感的演唱，演绎了他对父亲的那份纪念，在爱里透露出更多的是伤感。
