Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father

·2 mins
Music

Lyrics
#

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
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 momma 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

Lyrics: Once upon a younger year When all our shadows disappeared The animals inside came out to play Went face to face with all our fears Learned our lessons through the tears Made memories we knew would never fade One day my father, he told me "Son, don't let it slip away" He took me in his arms, I heard him say "When you get older Your wild heart will live for younger days Think of me if ever you're afraid" He said: "One day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember" My father told me when I was just a child "These are the nights that never die" My father told me When thunder clouds start pouring down Light a fire they can't put out Carve your name into those shining stars He said: "Go venture far beyond the shores Don't forsake this life of yours I'll guide you home, no matter where you are" One day my father, he told me "Son, don't let it slip away" When I was just a kid, I heard him say "When you get older Your wild heart will live for younger days Think of me if ever you're afraid" He said: "One day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember" My father told me when I was just a child "These are the nights that never die" My father told me "These are the nights that never die" My father told me My father told me

Hotel California

Hotel California is such a beautiful song. And its deep meaning can apply to pretty much any situation. I have been especially thinking of the last line, “You can checkout anytime you like, but you can never leave.” A lot of people think this song is about drugs and Hollywood life that is hard to leave. But it can apply to anything. One can never leave their corporate life, they are stuck there forever because they got bills, family, and fear of going on their own. So they can mentally checkout anytime they like, but they can never leave.

As I turn back, my eyes dampen When I realized my incomplete life My life became clear to me Broken promises Deserted dreams Broken promises Seek time's tender shade Yesterday too, was in ruins Now is deserted as well Life asks for a moment of support Damp memories Won't let me sleep due to grief Damp memories Won't let me live.
