《与父亲共舞》是2004年格莱美金曲之一。黑人歌手就着R&B音乐,娓娓道来一个童年深印脑海的景象,一个如今遥不可及的梦:在父亲的怀抱中享受被爱的感觉。——在孩子眼中,父亲永远是最坚强最可依靠的港湾:被父亲高高举起,在嬉闹中睡着、被抱上楼睡觉,在父亲的循循善诱中开始懂事——可这一切都不会重来,“若再次与他散步,再次与他共舞,我会放首永远永远不会结束的曲子”,“只要再看一眼,只要再与他跳支舞”,“这就是每晚都出现的梦”……
Dance With My Father Luther Vandross
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.
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´d never never 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
