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 and
How I do 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 do love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I do hear my mother cried for him
And i hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I know i am 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 is dying
To dance with my father again
Every night i fall asleep and this is all i ever dream
Every night i fall asleep and this is all i ever dream....

(Luther Vandross)
Sang by Joseph McElderry at x-factor

Totally different feelings when Joseph sang it. But fell so touched for the first time i heard this song.. I can't really catch the lyric when Joseph sang it but can feel the sadness in it. Then when hear Luther Vandross edition, understood the lyric and feel even more into the songs... It... it's just so right at this moment. The feeling.... not only to treasure people around you... Every minute is a gift... to spend without regrets...
