音乐就是这么简单，在音乐的面前我显得如此脆弱，无意中听到这首歌曲. 这是一首唱给父亲的歌曲,演唱者是Luther Vandross，这是一位著名的黑人R&B大师，在他50多岁时创作的一首歌，给父亲的纪念。Luther Vandross也正是凭借这首歌获得了第46届格莱美音乐的年度最佳歌曲。这张专辑得到了4个Grammy奖 包括通类的“年度歌曲”。而Luther Vandross却因为心脏病发作住进了医院，因此这位成就卓越的歌手无法参加当时的格莱美颁奖典礼。Luther Vandross生于1951年4月20日,2003年4月患病,7月1日去世,享年54岁。
Dance With My Father
Back when I was a child, 小时候，
Before life removed all the innocence, 天真懵懂。
My father would lift me high, 父亲会把我高高举起，
And dance with my mother and me, 跟我和母亲一起翩翩起舞。
And then... 然后，
Spin me around til' I fell asleep, 抱着我转圈，直到我入睡。
Then up the stairs he would carry me, 父亲会把我抱上楼。
And I knew for sure I was loved 我知道父亲深深爱着我。
If I could get another chance, 如果我还有一次机会，
Another walk, another dance with him, 跟父亲散步，与父亲共舞，
I'd play a song that would never ever end 我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子。
How I'd love love love... 我是多么想
To dance with my father again. 再跟父亲跳一次舞。
When I and my mother would disagree, 当我不想听母亲话的时候，
To get my way I would run from her to him. 我就会跑到父亲跟前。
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, 他会想办法让我笑起来，安慰我。
Then finally make me do just what my momma said. 但是最后让我照母亲的话去做。
Later that night when I was asleep, 那一晚在我睡觉的时候，
He left a dollar under my sheet. 他在我的床单下放了一块钱。
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me. 从来没有想过父亲会离开我。
If I could steal one final glance, 如果我能再看父亲一眼，
One final step, 再迈出一步舞步，
One final dance with him, 再跟父亲跳最后一支舞。
I'd play a song that would never ever end 我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子。
Cause I'd love love love... 因为我是多么想
To dance with my father again. 再跟父亲跳一次舞。
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door 有时候我会在母亲的门外，
And I'd hear how my momma cried for him 听见她思念父亲的哭声。
I pray for her even more than me... 我为母亲祈祷…
I pray for her even more than me..... 我为母亲祈祷...
I know I'm praying for much too much, 我知道我的要求有点过分，
But could you send back, 但是你能不能
The only man she loved. 把她唯一深爱的男人送回来？
I know you don't do it usually, 我知道你一般不会这么做，
But dear Lord she's dying, 但是我的主啊，
To dance with my father again. 她是多么想再和父亲共舞啊！
Every night I fall asleep 每晚入睡以后，
And this is all I ever ever dream... 同样的梦境重复出现…
就像我经常说的
“不经意间总会忽略些什么..” 当我无意中看到父亲的手背，那松散粗糙的皮肤 ...
原来他真的老了.....
借以此曲献给所有的父亲..
