| [00:02.45] | Luther Vandross-Dance With My Father |
| [00:07.73] | |
| [00:16.34] | Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence |
| [00:28.26] | My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then |
| [00:39.49] | Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep |
| [00:45.43] | Then up the stairs he would carry me |
| [00:49.84] | And I knew for sure I was loved |
| [00:54.78] | |
| [00:56.66] | If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him |
| [01:09.04] | I’d play a song that would never, ever end |
| [01:13.73] | How I’d love, love, love |
| [01:17.60] | To dance with my father again |
| [01:32.46] | When I and my mother would disagree |
| [01:38.62] | To get my way, I would run from her to him |
| [01:44.57] | He’d make me laugh just to comfort me |
| [01:50.50] | Then finally make me do just what my mama said |
| [01:56.43] | Later that night when I was asleep |
| [02:01.92] | He left a dollar under my sheet |
| [02:06.96] | Never dreamed that he would be gone from me |
| [02:13.69] | If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him |
| [02:26.09] | I’d play a song that would never, ever end |
| [02:30.50] | ‘Cause I’d love, love, love |
| [02:34.57] | To dance with my father again |
| [02:41.03] | Sometimes I’d listen outside her door |
| [02:46.52] | And I’d hear how my mother cried for him |
| [02:52.68] | I pray for her even more than me |
| [02:58.81] | I pray for her even more than me |
| [03:18.90] | I know I’m praying for much too much |
| [03:24.86] | But could you send back the only man she loved |
| [03:31.16] | I know you don’t do it usually |
| [03:35.76] | But dear Lord she’s dying |
| [03:39.73] | To dance with my father again |
| [03:48.82] | Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream |
