- Luther Vandross-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 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 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
