niamh Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I came across this last night while looking for a certain scene from The Lion King having read a post from someone else. Another song I know and I'm sure many of you do also that just captures so much. It's "Dance With My Father" by Luthor Vandross. This is so sweet, so sad, I cried so much watching it last night. It's Simba from the Lion King with some footage that just seems to explain his relationship with his father who he lost. The video is just so well edited with various scences from the film that fit with the lyrics. Put together with this song, it's just perfect. The video and the words just sum up me and my Dad perfectly, the fun, the laughs, always protecting me, looking out for me .....and now just the raw pain of missing him so badly and wishing so much just once God would let someone come back. Simba & His Dad hope you enjoy , I wish I could dance with you again Dad (posted to grief songs aswell Marty ) "Dance with my Father again" by Luthor 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 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loulou Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Niamh,reading this,a memory popped into my head,of me dancing with my dad as a little girl.I would stand on his feet,and away we would go,dancing and spinning.And we would dance great...I was on his feet after all....It also makes me think of the wedding I just attended,watching the bride dance with her dad,and me,having my heart ripped out then and there.(sniff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
