BEST LYRICS

#76
DANCE WITH MY FATHER
“…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 &
this is all I ever dream...”
Luther Vandross composed "Dance With My Father" with Richard Marx. The poignant song refers to the former's parent. It was released as a single in 2003 and went on to collect 2 Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year.
The lyrics recall Vandross' memories of the loving father he lost at a young age. Sadly, the R&B vocalist himself passed away 2 years later.
As
new songs are covered on this blog, a definitive version will be added to a
spotify playlist. Find it and the other Caffé Latté playlists at:
