Dance With My Father -Imelda Papin version

Dance with My Father”
I love this song because it brings happy memories of me with my kids every time I arrive home and would lift them up high. Sometimes I would let them stand in my right arm and try to balance them.

Oh, every time I tried to throw them up high then catch them and I hear them giggle with excitement. Those moments were priceless.

I am sure all the father out there can relate with me. It is good to be feeling sentimental sometimes, right?

The past few days I always hear over the radio the version of Imelda Papin and I can’t help but become a fan again of this talented lady.

Remember her songs? I tried to google for her youtube version but I can’t find one. I find instead a website that list her songs including her albums: Titik Pilipino – Filipino Songs Online Resources. Remember Isang Linggong Pag-ibig?

Since I can’t find Ms. Imelda Papin’s version I am giving you the version of Luther Vandross. Enjoy!

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
Spend 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

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 momma said
Later that night, when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

Chorus:
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
I’d hear how my mother cried for him
(2x) I’d 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

Just don’t forget to dance with your father again if you got the chance.

  8. This song made me a lil sad…my father passed away 3 years ago already because of stroke.

    It’s really important to take care and express our love for our parents while they are still here. Thanks for this reminder Fathelyours.

    It’s great remembering those pricelss memories Mon, those were the days, tapos ang bilis nilang lumaki. So to parents out there, enjoy your children while you can. If you could document your time together, these would be precious gems to look back to when you’re old.

    Thanks for sharing, Mon
