That was 1 year ago, I heard this song in a cd store. The elegant rhythm, the perfect voice & the absolutely romantic atmosphere moved me and I really could not walk away even by the end. It is talking about the love between a son and his father, and more touching story of the love of his parents, of an admirable family!  I have to say, it allows me to see a side of me that i never managed to realize. By the music I get to think twice the things in life that I really want to pursue.  Everything said in the song is more than sth to make someone feel good; it gives a course to me to overcome the difficulties in  times of work & life. Each time when I got anxious, worried, troubled or depressed, I would turn on Luther Vandross to calm down, to get relaxed, and u know what,  tranquility spreads from heart to soul.

 

Enjoy the holiday, my buddies!

 

<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
