How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again
Ooh, ooh
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 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 prayin’ 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 dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
Dance With My Father是Luther Vandross为了纪念自己的父亲而发行的，他的父亲在他8岁的时候死于糖尿病，这无疑给小Vandross的心灵带来了不小的打击。专辑同名曲目Dance With My Father是与Richard Marx共同创作的。这首歌回忆了小时候Vandross与父亲跳舞时的情景，歌词非常感人，为他们赢得了2004年格莱美年度歌曲奖，也为Vandross赢得了第四次格莱美最佳R&B男歌手奖。Beyonce, Celine Dion, Jason Kidd, Stevie Wonder等名人都出现在了这首歌的MV中。这张Dance With My Father无疑是Luther Vandross一生中最成功、最重要的一张专辑，不幸的是，专辑发行两年后，Luther Vandross去世。
