예전에 누군가의 추천으로 인해 처음 듣게 된 Luther Vandross의 음악이다. 내가 그를 알고 나서 얼마 지나지 않아 더 좋은 곳으로 가버렸지만.
조용한 밤에 정말 잘 어울리는 목소리다. 듣고 있으면 왠지 모르게 아련한 추억 속으로 들어가는 느낌이 든다. 약간은 그립기도 하고 아쉽기도 한 어렴풋한 느낌.
Luther Vandross - Dance with my father
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
