Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
很久之前,我还是个孩子,生活还没有完全磨去我的天真
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and
爸爸总是把我抱得高高的,和妈妈跳舞
Then spin me around till I fell asleep
然后抱着我旋转直到我睡去
Then up the stairs he would carry me and I knew for sure I was loved
他便会把我抱上楼
我知道我被他深深爱着
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
如果我能再拥有一次机会,和他一起散步,一起跳舞
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
我会弹一首永远不会结束的歌
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
我多么渴望能和爸爸再一次跳舞
When I and my mother would disagree, to get my way, I would run from her to him
每当我和妈妈意见不合的时候,我总是跑到爸爸那儿去寻找支持
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
他一定会让我笑起来,让我开心
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
最终又会让我照着妈妈说的做
Later that night when I was asleep, he left a dollar under my sheet
那晚我睡着的时候,他会在我的床单下面放一块钱
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
我从来没有想过他会离开我
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
如果我能再最后看他一眼,再一起走一步,再跳一支舞
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
我会弹一首永远不会结束的歌
'cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
因为我多么渴望能再和爸爸跳一支舞啊
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
有时候我在妈妈房间外听
and I'd hear how my mother cried for him
听到她为了爸爸而哭泣
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
我虔诚地为她祈祷
I know I'm praying for much too much
我知道我祈祷了很久很久
But could you send back the only man she loved
但是你能把她唯一深爱的人还回来吗
I know you don't do it usually
我知道你通常不会这么做
But dear lord she's dying to dance with my father again
但是亲爱的上帝,她渴望能和爸爸再跳一支舞
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
每晚我熟睡时,这是我唯一梦想的
