小時(shí)候,他是你心中最魁梧高大的偶像,小時(shí)候,他的肩膀是你哭泣時(shí)最想依靠的地方,可不知哪一天,忽然發(fā)現(xiàn),父親,他也老了,正如,我們?cè)缫验L(zhǎng)大。可是,在父親眼中,你仍是小時(shí)候愛(ài)哭愛(ài)闖禍的寶貝,最可愛(ài)的寶貝,最寶貝的寶貝……
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
《Dance With My Father》充滿(mǎn)了Luther Vandross對(duì)父親的紀(jì)念,清淡的鋼琴伴奏,和他傷感的演唱,在愛(ài)里透露出更多的是思念和傷感。 此曲獲第46屆格萊美音樂(lè)的年度最佳歌曲。
