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 mother 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

love without expectations. treasure what we have now. many times when we're seeking our wants we neglect what we already have. my dad's leaving tmr again. it's all too soon.

such a beautiful song. tho i hope to god that day will never come. but it's a great song to end the hectic and busy week. brings u into a state of contemplation. life's so much more than just all that.

twice in a row ive accomplished the void-deck-study goal. with fellow study-ers cherie and edwin. the void deck's so serene at night. today while waiting for cherie, i took some time to rest (ie stone) at the bleachers. with music plugged in from the ipod, and the cool rainy weather, it was almost perfect, other than the arguments frm the nearby couple. got me psyched up for the 2 hour study that commenced : ) or less. yup definitely less.

whatever. i still studied today.
