Dance With My Father

This is a wonderful song, when i heard it for the first time, I had tears all over my eyes.
It is a song from Luther Vandross, a great singer. Here is the lyrics. Please do love your family.

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 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 her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me I pray for her even more than me
I know I’m prayin’ for much too much But could You send back the only man she loved I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep And this is all I ever dream
