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
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 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 如果我還能有另一次機會 與他一起散步、與他共舞的話 我將放一首永遠永遠不會結束的歌曲 我多麼多麼想再一次與我父親共舞啊
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
有時候我在她的門外傾聽 我聽到她在為我父親哭泣 我為她祈禱更甚於為我自己 我為她祈禱更甚於為我自己
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
