I miss my dad.
he left sunday to take a job in japan. so now it's just me and my brother taking care of our house. on the way back to school from san diego, i turned the radio on and this luther vandross song called "dance with my father" came on. i couldn't stop crying. it's really sad to know that he's not going to be here for the next three years. yeah, he gets breaks, but not this year. we don't know when we will see him again. i miss him already. i love my father so much. he's done so much for us. he got us through the past 10 years of being without a mother, with us not even realizing how hard that was for him.
Lord, please look out for my father out there.
"Back when i was a child
before life removed all the innocence
my father would lift me up
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 that 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 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 stare, one final dance with him
i'd play a song that would never, ever end
cuz 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'd pray for her even more than me
i'd 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'd ever dream..."
