back when i was a child
before life removed all the innocence
my father would lift me high
and dance with my mother me 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 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 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 so much too much
but could you send back the only man she loved
i know u don't do it usually
but dear lord she's dying
to dance with my father again
every night i fall asleep this is all i ever dream  

空间里链接的一首歌。这首歌充满了Luther Vandross对父亲的纪念，清淡的钢琴伴奏，伤感的演唱，在爱里透露出是思念和感伤。 它获第46届格莱美音乐的年度最佳歌曲。

喜欢那种磁性的声音。每次听它，就感觉长长的思念从一个给人厚厚的嘴唇里缓缓倾泻出来。

从来没有从专业眼光去评论过什么音乐、艺术。其是我压根就不懂。

可是，人是有感情的。作为一名普通大众，能与歌手产生共鸣，对于歌手是成功，对于听这是享受。

 

小时，从来没有过父亲把我放在他肩膀上的记忆。从来没有过父亲去学校开家长会的记忆。从来没有过父亲去外地给我买礼物的记忆。从来没有过父亲带我去旅游的记忆。甚至于从来没有过跟父亲通电话上10分钟以上的记忆。

 

可是却有小学发生洪灾时，他去接我的模糊的背影。也有初中时，因逃课被毛巾鞭打过的痕迹。还有大学暑假放假时，那次很平凡但永远忘不了的问话。

那天两人路过一冰室，他突然转过头来问我：要不要吃个什么雪糕？

我想这句话，可能是我至今为止听到的最突然的一句话。即使别人看来很普通。

这句话，足够弥补他这么多年一直隐藏着的不愿表达感情的冷漠举动。

以至于那天回到家，看到妈妈在做饭，我居然很酸的说：我们就是一个幸福小家庭。

 

我不愿意去抓住那一刻。因为我知道还有很多时刻的幸福等着我去体会。

我只是在听到这首歌的时候，每次想想爸爸，然后想想妈妈。

然后，我明白了我的幸福。
