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.

[Ooooh...]

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 momma said.

Later that night when I was asleep,
He left the 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 momma 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 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...

처음에 후렴구만 듣고 귀에 쏙~ 들어오는 좋은 노래라 생각했다.
요즘 차안에서 제대로 가사를 듣고나서...참....벙쩠다.

그래...두 사람을 동시에 사랑하는 거 충분히 가능한 일이라고 봐.
내가 엄마만 사랑하고 아빠를 사랑할 수 없는게 아니 듯,
내가 사랑하는 친구가 한명이 아니 듯.

그치만 말야.
그렇기 때문에,,,,
살아가면서 마음이 설렐 수 있는 사람이 딱 한명이 아닐 수 있기 때문에,
늘 내 마음 단속하며 살아야하는거 아니겠어?

그리고 마지막이 더 웃겨.
그냥 두사람을 다 마음속에 예쁘게 묻을꺼야 영원히~~...라고?
웃기지도 않아.
한 사람을 포기하고 살아가는게 상상이 안된다며,
둘 다 포기하고는 살 수 있나보지?

모르겠다.
내가 아줌마가 되서 그런가?
멜로디는 맘에 들었는데...
가사가 너무 화가 나.
