Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence 回来时，我还是个孩子，生活还没有带走所有的天真

My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then 我父亲把我高高举起跳舞与我的母亲和我，然后

Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep 围绕我旋转，直到我睡着了

Then up the stairs he would carry me 然后上楼梯，他抱我

And I knew for sure I was loved 而且我敢肯定，他爱着我

If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him 如果我还有一次机会，散步，跳舞与他

I’d play a song that would never, ever end 我一定要永远永远不休止的歌

How I’d love, love, love 我如何爱，爱，爱

To dance with my father again 能和爸爸再跳一次舞

When I and my mother would disagree 当我和我的母亲不会同意

To get my way, I would run from her to him 让我的方式，我就会跑到他

He’d make me laugh just to comfort me 他会想办法让我笑起来，安慰我

Then finally make me do just what my mama said 后来终于让我做的正是我的妈妈说

Later that night when I was asleep 那天晚上，当我睡着了

He left a dollar under my sheet 他留下一块钱我的床单下放

Never dreamed that he would be gone from me 做梦也没想到他会从此离开我

If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him 如果我能看他最后一眼，最后一步，跟他跳最后一次舞

I’d play a song that would never, ever end 我一定要永远永远不休止的歌

‘Cause I’d love, love, love 因为我爱，爱，爱

To dance with my father again 能和爸爸再跳一次舞

Sometimes I’d listen outside her door 有时候我会听她的门外

And I’d hear how my mother cried for him 我想听听我的母亲为他哭了

I pray for her even more than me 我祈祷她比我更

I pray for her even more than me 我祈祷她比我更

I know I’m praying for much too much 我知道我祈求的实在太多了

But could you send back the only man she loved 但你能不能把后面的唯一的男人，她爱

I know you don’t do it usually 我知道你不这样做，通常

But dear Lord she’s dying 可是亲爱的主啊，她快死了

To dance with my father again 能和爸爸再跳一次舞

Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream 每天晚上我都睡着，而这就是我全部的梦
