Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
當我還是個孩子的時候在歲月純真帶走以前
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me
我的父親總喜歡把我舉得高高的與我母親共舞與我共舞
and then spin me around ‘til I fell asleep
他會抱著我旋轉直到我睡著為止
Then up the stairs he would carry me
然後他會背著我上樓去
And I knew for sure I was loved
我很清楚我是被愛的
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
如果我還能有另一次機會與他一起散步與他共舞的話
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
我將放一手永遠不會結束的歌曲
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again
我多麼多麼想再一次與我父親共舞啊
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
有時候我在她的門外傾聽
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
我聽到她在為我父親哭泣
I pray for her even more than me
我為他祈禱更甚於我自己
I pray for her even more than me
我為他祈禱更甚於我自己
I know you I’m praying for much too much
我知道我祈求的太多太多
But could you send back the only man she loved
但您能不能把她今生唯一愛過的男人還給她
I know you don’t do it usually
我知道您通常不會這麼做
But dear Lord she’s dying to dance with my father again
可是親愛的上帝她是如此渴望再與我父親共舞一次啊
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
每晚當我沉沉的睡著這些就會出現在我的夢裡
