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 till 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
Ooh, ooh
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, yeah, yeah
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 her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

and i’m crying to hear this song..hiks…
miss my father a lot…
jadi inget, dulu suka pura-pura ketiduran didepan tv saking malesnya cuci kaki.
dan papa bakalan ambil waslap, lap muka aku, tangan aku, kaki aku dan gendong ke kamar.
jadi inget tiap papa marah-marah dan bilang ga punya uang waktu aku minta dibeliin “roller blade”, “pianika”, “new Shoes” dan apapun itu….
papa marah, said “we dont have money to buy all that you want…!”
tapi…
ga lebih lama dari seminggu yang aku minta tiba-tiba dibeliin… 
i love my Pa so much…
i miss him to much…
bahkan ketika pernah saking kesalnya papa marah…sampe ngusir aku keluar kamar..
kurang dari sejam, dia udah meluk aku dan minta maaf, padahal aku yang salah…
hiks…
just miss him so much…
hmmm katanya si penyanyinya juga meninggal dunia setelah lagu ini….
he just real dance with his father now…
Weeee… ayah yang baik..
Saya berjanji akan jadi ayah seperti itu nanti…
*padahal nikah aja masih belum pasti
jadi pernahkah kamu berdansa dengan ayahmu?
mbrebes mili, keingetan alm. bapak.
hiks,, jadi inget ama ayah dirumah …huhu
father, how are you today?
there’s something that we will feel, when someone is not beside us…
aku orang bali asli…….
jadi untuk ngelakuin itu mustahil…..
aneh. yang komen kok pria semua. pasti adalah yang mau diajakin dance tuh ka.. Btw, tunangan kok ga ngundang2 sih jeng?

so sweet … kenangan yang … indah.
hmm,
untung dilingkungan aq hal tersebut masih tabu,
jadi ngga mungkinlah kaki aku bakal di waslap ama papa aku,
bakal kualat ntar akunya (lho, ini ngebahas apa sich??),
hehe…
ps : thanks ceritanya, ngebuat aku makin mengerti apa yang harus aku buat,
tuk ayahandaku tercinta….
