Happy Father's Day

A song, Dance With My Father, by Luther Vandross, where it was released in 2003, was the final album recorded by Luther Vandross before he died in 2005. The album, especially the title track, was recorded in memory of Vandross's late father, Luther Ronzoni Vandross.

A nice and a touching song to dedicate to our daddy. =) Yea I know this song is more suitable for those who had lost his/her dad. But for us who still have our dad by our side, this song can remind us to appreciate each and every moment with our father. Life is short you know?! Appreciate it before you regret.

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

Lastly, wishing every father in the world, and also to our Heavenly Father who's always by our side, Happy Father's Day.


I Love You Daddy!!! You're the greatest~ =)
