队敫盖坠参琛肥2004年格莱美金曲之一。黑人歌手就着R&B音乐，娓娓道来一个童年深印脑海的景象，一个如今遥不可及的梦：在父亲的怀抱中享受被爱的感觉。——在孩子眼中，父亲永远是最坚强最可依靠的港湾：被父亲高高举起，在嬉闹中睡着、被抱上楼睡觉，在父亲的循循善诱中开始懂事——可这一切都不会重来，“若再次与他散步，再次与他共舞，我会放首永远永远不会结束的曲子”，“只要再看一眼，只要再与他跳支舞”，“这就是每晚都出现的梦”……

Dance With My Father
Luther Vandross

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.

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'd never never 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 momma 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
