[00:00.00]Dance With My Father - Album Version and Radio Version - Luther Vandross
[00:16.02]Back when I was a child
[00:22.23]Before life removed all the innocence
[00:28.03]My father would lift me high
[00:33.91]And dance with my mother and me
[00:38.10]And then spin me around 'til I fell asleep
[00:45.10]Then up the stairs he would carry me
[00:49.49]And I knew for sure
[00:52.52]I was loved
[00:56.23]If I could get another chance
[01:02.34]Another walk another dance with him
[01:08.77]I'd play a song that would never ever end
[01:13.25]How I'd love love love
[01:17.27]To dance with my father again
[01:32.14]When I and my mother would disagree
[01:38.45]To get my way I would run from her to him
[01:44.38]He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
[01:50.26]Then finally make me do just what my mama said
[01:56.18]Later that night when I was asleep
[02:02.17]He left a dollar under my sheet
[02:06.69]Never dreamed that he
[02:09.71]Would be gone from me
[02:13.41]If I could steal one final glance
[02:19.20]One final step one final dance with him
[02:25.84]I'd play a song that would never ever end
[02:30.33]'Cause I'd love love love
[02:34.38]To dance with my father again
[02:40.84]Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
[02:46.51]And I'd hear how my mama cried for him
[02:52.53]I pray for her even more than me
[02:58.40]I pray for her even more than me
[03:18.53]I know I'm praying for much too much
[03:24.33]But could you send back the only man she loved
[03:30.95]I know you don't do it usually
[03:35.40]But dear Lord she's dying
[03:39.31]To dance with my father again
[03:48.57]Every night I fall asleep
[03:51.12]And this is all I ever dream
