歌词：
《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 till 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
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
BeCause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father
again
Sometimes I?d listen outside her door
And I'd hear her, mama crying 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 Lord, she's dying to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
《与父亲共舞 》
在我孩提时
当天真还未被生活吞噬
父亲常将我高高举起
同母亲和我共舞
有抱起我直到我安睡
然后包我上楼
我确信我被深爱着如果我可以在有一个机会
与他在漫步一次,再共舞一次
我会弹奏一支无终无尽的歌曲
我是多么想再次与父亲共舞
当我与母亲想法不一致
不听话的我就跑去找父亲
他会逗我,安慰我
最后还是要我照妈妈说的做
哪天晚上当我熟睡
他在被单下留下一块钱
从为想到他会离我而去
假如我能最后偷看一眼
与他跳最后一步,舞最后一次
我会弹奏一支无终无尽的歌曲
因为我是多么想再次与父亲共舞
有时我在母亲的门旁倾听
我听到他为父亲而哭泣
我为她祈祷多过我自己
我为她祈祷多过我自己
我知道我祈求的东西太多
但是上帝你能否送会她唯一爱过的男人
我知道你通常不这样做
但是亲爱的上帝,她是多么想再次与父亲共舞
每天夜里当我熟睡着,我就只做这个梦
