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 'til 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
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 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 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
最近蠻喜歡這首歌的。最近不知道是天氣熱還是生理週期的關係,心情非常的浮躁,連日記也不太想寫。明天要出去玩,也不是玩,只是想出去走走,換個地方,見見不同的人,心情也許會好一點吧!
我前天在博客來書跟雜誌,剛剛開Outlook收信,發現已經可以取貨了,效率真高。兩本雜誌是去年Formula 1的過期雜誌,書是Umberto Eco 2000年的作品,過了四年,中文本總算問世。下星期上大夜班可以看^^
