今早思緒都還在醒來的時候,聽到廣播正在播送Luther Vandross的Dance with my father
第一次聽到,但很吸引我這個半夢半醒的
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
當我還是個孩子的時候
在歲月把所有的純真帶走以前
我的父親總喜歡把我舉得高高的
與我母親共舞、與我共舞
他會抱著我旋轉,直到我睡著為止
然後他會背著我上樓去
我很清楚我是被愛的
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 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
如果我還能有另一次機會
與他一起散步、與他共舞的話
我將放一首永遠永遠不會結束的歌曲
我多麼多麼想再一次與我父親共舞啊
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
有時候我在她的門外傾聽
我聽到她在為我父親哭泣
我為她祈禱更甚於為我自己
我為她祈禱更甚於為我自己
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
