So, I was browsing iTunes and came across Luther Vandross. Remembering he passed a few years ago, I remembered the song people were talking about he wrote with Richard Marx, called "Dance With My Father" and never hearing it, I decided to download it and man, what a beautiful song! im 21 and my dad died in 2004 and I tear up listening because its such a great song to remember a father by. I thought I'd share it in case some of you are not familiar. ----------------------------------------------------------"Dance With My Father" - Luther Vandross, co written by Richard MarxBack when I was a child Before life removed all the innocenceMy father would lift me high And dance with my mother and me and thenSpin me around 'till I fell asleep And 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 the 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 fell 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 doorAnd I'd hear how mama would cry for himI prayed for her even more than meI prayed for her even more than meI know I'm praying for much too muchBut could you send back the only man she lovedI know you don't do it usuallyBut dear lord, she's dying to dance with my father againEvery night I fall asleep And this is all I ever dream

Luther was a great artist. One of my all-time favorites. Great song too.
