昨天在MSN上和父亲视频聊天，看着父亲全白的头发，说着家常琐事，不由得想起小时候跟着父亲去河边撒网打鱼的情景，恍惚就在眼前。岁月匆匆，现在是我带着儿子去河边钓鱼了。从为人子到为人父，生命就是这样一代接一代地延续下去的吧。在一个小孩子的心目中，父亲是无所不能的偶像。当听到儿子用稚嫩的声音对妈妈说：“Don't worry, Daddy can do it.”，还有什么事比作父亲更有成就感呢？
很喜欢Luther唱的这首歌，Dance With My Father （与父亲共舞）。放在这里，给看到这段文字的父亲们，以及爱着父亲的朋友们。
专辑名：《Dance With My Father》
演唱者：Luther Vandross
发行时间：2003年07月07日
发行公司：J Records (BMG)
歌词：
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
时光倒流至童年，纯真还未被生活吞噬
父亲常会将我高高举起，与母亲和我共舞
举着我旋转直到我安然入睡
然后他抱着我走上楼梯
我确信自已被深爱着
如果我可以再有一次机会，与他漫步，与他共舞
我将弹奏一首永不结束的歌曲
我是多么多么多么渴望
再次与父亲共舞
每当我与母亲发生矛盾
固执的我，会从她身边跑开转向父亲的怀抱
他会逗我欢笑，安慰我
最终使我按照妈妈说的去做
那天晚上当我入睡后
他在我床单下放了一块钱
从未想过他会离我而去
如果我还能再最后偷偷看他一眼，最后一次与他同行，最后一次与他共舞
我将弹奏一首永不结束的歌曲
因为我是多么多么多么渴望
再次与父亲共舞
有时我会在母亲的门外倾听
我听到她为父亲而哭泣
我为她祈祷多过我自己
我为她祈祷多过我自己
我知道我祈求的太多
但你能否送回她唯一爱过的男人
我知道您通常不这样做
但亲爱的上帝她是如此的渴求
能够再次与我的父亲共舞
每天夜晚我沉睡的时候，这是我梦中唯一的愿望
