Luther Vandross在他50多岁时创作了《Dance With My Father》，作为给父亲的纪念。这首歌曲是Luther Vandross自己真实的故事,一个7岁孩子的记忆,一点点忧伤更多地却是那些遥远而温暖的细节和情绪,在歌曲中倾注了自己对父亲深深的怀念,清淡的钢琴伴奏,和他伤感的演唱,在爱里透露出更多的是伤感。

中英歌词对照：
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence 【回到童年时光，在生活远离天真之前】
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then【父亲将我高高举起，与母亲一起跳舞】
Spin me around till I fell asleep【抱着我旋转，直到我入眠】
Then up the stairs he would carry me【然后将我抱上楼梯】
And I knew for sure I was loved【让我知道我被父亲深深爱着】
If I could get another chance, 【如果我还有一次机会】
Another walk, another dance with him, 【与父亲散布，与父亲共舞】
I'd play a song that would never ever end【我会选一支没有结尾的歌曲】
How I'd love love love... 【我是多么想】
To dance with my father again. 【与父亲再跳一支舞】

When I and my mother would disagree【当我和母亲意见分歧】
To get my way, I would run from her to him【就会逃离母亲，跑向父亲】
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me【他让我欢笑，给我安慰】
Then finally make me do just what my mama said【最后让我按母亲所说的去做】
Later that night when I was asleep【那夜当我入睡】
He left a dollar under my sheet【他在我床边留下一美元】
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me【却从没想到父亲会离开我】
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him【如果我能再看父亲一眼，再迈出一步舞步，再与父亲跳最后一支舞】
I’d play a song that would never, ever end【我会选一支没有结尾的歌曲】
Cause I’d love, love, love【因为我是多么想】
To dance with my father again【再父亲跳一支舞】

Sometimes I’d listen outside her door【多少次我在母亲门外】
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him【听到她思念父亲的哭泣】
I pray for her even more than me【我为她祈祷胜过为自己】
I pray for her even more than me【我为她祈祷胜过为自己】

I know I’m praying for much too much【我知道我祈祷的太多，已到过分】
But could you send back the only man she loved【但是你能不能把她唯一深爱的男人送回来】
I know you don’t do it usually【我知道你通常不会这么做】
But dear Lord she’s dying【但我的主啊，她正在逝去】
To dance with my father again【请再让她与父亲跳一支舞吧】

Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream【如今每夜入睡，再与你们梦中相见，梦中起舞】
