For this week, I bring to you one of my best songs titled DANCE WITH MY FATHER by LUTHER VANDROSS.

This week's theme CHILDLIKE brought back many childhood memories especially the ones I had with my father. I remember how we would always dance round the house to loud reggae and blues music disturbing everyone. My father gave my brother and I our foundation in music right from a very young age. I remember how we would host singing competitions all in the bid to build our singing voice but now everyone is so busy this day that we hardly have time time each other.

I'd give anything to have those fun moment back again with him. Singing this song reminded me alot of how growing up was fun and how things have changed with time.

I still wonder what changed? I guess it comes with being an adult😫

Join me in singing and enjoying this special moment as I sing from my heart. Enjoy🥂

"Dance With My Father"

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 'til 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

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 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 how my mama cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I 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 ever dream

I trust you enjoyed thus music and it brought back some Childlike memories❤

Much love😍

Hola queridos amigos,

Estoy muy feliz de estar aquí de nuevo con mi entrada para esta semana impresionante tema titulado Infantil que significa infantil.

8DAuGnTQCLptZgjHUrRAJGcW4y1D4A5QVJJ7zjzqqKdfVHSS6NapSCC8BmeEpY8wciwfdbzb4GYf72HeUG7s9QC88vuUwxbxDcneLj6DohbWGNSkZ751H1n25apb42Wz4HHowyVRqEMYZY3t2C5KKFY3DNwEKFPVsnYcgBG5u9x.png

Para esta semana, les traigo una de mis mejores canciones titulada DANCE WITH MY FATHER de LUTHER VANDROSS.

El tema de esta semana CHILDLIKE me trajo muchos recuerdos de la infancia, especialmente los que tenía con mi padre. Recuerdo que siempre bailábamos por la casa con música reggae y blues a todo volumen molestando a todo el mundo. Mi padre nos dio a mi hermano y a mí una base musical desde muy pequeños. Recuerdo que organizábamos concursos de canto para desarrollar nuestra voz, pero ahora todo el mundo está tan ocupado que apenas tenemos tiempo para nosotros.

Daría cualquier cosa por volver a tener esos momentos de diversión con él. Cantar esta canción me ha recordado cómo era de divertida la infancia y cómo han cambiado las cosas con el tiempo.

Todavía me pregunto qué ha cambiado. Supongo que eso viene con ser un adulto😫

Acompáñame a cantar y a disfrutar de este momento especial mientras canto desde mi corazón. Disfruta🥂

LETRA

"Bailar con mi padre"

Cuando era un niño
Antes de que la vida me quitara toda la inocencia
Mi padre me levantaba en alto
Y bailaba con mi madre y conmigo
Y luego me hacía girar hasta que me dormía
Luego me subía por las escaleras
Y yo sabía con certeza
Que me amaba

Si pudiera tener otra oportunidad
Otro paseo, otro baile con él
Tocaría una canción que nunca, nunca terminaría
Cómo amaría, amaría, amaría
Bailar con mi padre otra vez

Cuando mi madre y yo no estuviéramos de acuerdo
Para salirme con la mía, huiría de ella hacia él
Él me haría reír sólo para consolarme
Y finalmente me hacía hacer lo que mi madre decía

Más tarde esa noche, cuando yo estaba dormido
Dejó un dólar bajo mi sábana
Nunca soñé que él
Se alejaría de mí

Si pudiera robar una última mirada
Un último paso, un último baile con él
Tocaría una canción que nunca, nunca terminaría
Porque amaría, amaría, amaría
Bailar con mi padre de nuevo

A veces escucharía fuera de su puerta
Y escuchaba cómo mi mamá lloraba por él
Rezo por ella incluso más que por mí
Rezo por ella incluso más que por mí

Sé que estoy rezando demasiado
Pero, ¿podrías enviar de vuelta al único hombre que ella amaba?
Sé que no lo haces normalmente
Pero, querido Señor, ella se está muriendo
Para bailar con mi padre de nuevo

Cada noche me duermo
Y esto es todo lo que sueño

Confío en que hayas disfrutado así de la música y te haya traído algún recuerdo infantil❤

Mucho amor😍

I'm sure your dad is a great man, teaching or instilling music in a child is one of the greatest gifts there is, it was noble of him. Now, the consequences (You) are wonderful, from our point of view you are a great artist and example for the community. Beautiful song brother, thanks for sharing it.

My good friends❤ thanks for your kind words. They bless me always and I am forever grateful.

My dear friend❤ your kind words always gives me joy and encouragement to do more.

This song is very emotional and always gets me that way. I am glad that you felt it and could connect too.

Much love brother😍

I must confess that the song you chose is quite complicated, coming from the voice of the great Luther.

I congratulate you, the feeling in your interpretation made me think how great those moments with your family were.

A hug!!!
