Dance with My Father (In the Style of Luther Vandross)(Demo Vocal Version|In the Style of Luther Vandross|Demo)
Back when I was a child
- 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 me an' my Momma 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 Momma said
- Later that night while 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
- How I'd love love
- Love to dance with my father again
- Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
- And I'd hear how my Momma cried for him
- I'd pray for her even more than me
- I'd 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 dyin' to
- Dance with my father again
- Every night I fall asleep
- And this is all I ever dream

It's supposed to be an unwinding song yet now merely a regretful memory
so much love for your songs
