Luther VanDross - Dance With My Father

每次上班的時候
看著在台上的新娘新郎，還有兩邊的主婚人
心裡面的感覺總是五味雜陳
開心的爸爸媽媽、開心的新郎新娘
這時候，新郎新娘總是會有些想要對爸媽說的話

今天中午的喜宴
聽到了新娘錄下來給爸爸的錄音
心裡面突然冒出了好多好多想法
如果老爸看到我結婚的樣子，會有什麼表情呢？
我又會有哪些話想要對他說？

以前
我自以為是的認為
就算沒有了老爸又怎麼樣，我還是可以好好活下去
後來發現沒有我想的這麼簡單
心裡總是會出現一些奇怪的想法
我還沒有機會為你作任何事情
從來沒有買過東西給你、沒能夠帶你出去玩......我真是個不孝順的爛兒子

時常想起Good Charlotte的Emotionless中的一段歌詞
Are you happy out there
In this great wide world
Do you think about your sons
Do you miss your little girl
When you lay your head down
How do you sleep at night
Do you even wonder if we’re alright
But we’re alright
We’re alright

是的We're alright

"Dance With My Father"



Verse 1:
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
Spend me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved

Chorus:
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

Verse 2:
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

Chorus:
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

Verse 3:
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
I'd hear how my mother cried for him
(2x) I'd 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
