I toke my earphone and fixed it at my ears. I turn on the Winamp and started to choose several relaxing mp3 song to put it in playlist. Unintentionally, I found a song "Dance with My Father" in my computer folder. I was not familiar with the title so I played it firstly for just want to know. Here is what I have listened when enjoyed break time in my office :

Who's the singer?
After listen it, I think you will fully agree with me if I say that it is a really pretty song. Luther Vandross have gave soul to this song through his silky voice. Not only good in rhythm and voice, "Dance with My Father" also give emotional content about love and relationship which ever felt and experienced along his life. He told about how someone fell when loose a father or someone who you love so much. At any moment, the longing sense will merge and someone would be back at the past, memorize all the thing when they are together.

Luther Vandross (54), American R&B singer died at July 1, 2005. He suffered delibitating stroke since April 2003. During his musician carrier as a singer, he won 4 Grammy Awards from his 4 different albums. Good achievement, alright? He might leaved a lot of fans, but his masterpiece and song's albums always remain us about life, value of love and relationship each others.

Song lyric :

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

Ooh, ooh

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 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’d love, love, love to dance with my father
again

Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me

I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
