Marx, Richard - Dance With My Father Lyrics
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
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
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
She 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, yeah yeah
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

Pure talent.
Thank you, Richard Marks very beautiful song!!!
Damn onions..
Is he working on a new album???
If richard marx sung a song just he had his story book in his hand and he try to tell you the story with his heart and soul😊😊😊
A very beautiful song yet meaningful
My mom passed away about 2 years ago, and my mind automatically replaces father with mother, and vica versa in this song. I miss her so much and wish I would have spent more time with her in my adult years.
No entiendo... El tiene una voz hermosa!!! Y ni es tan famoso mientras otras personas q no hacen nada tiene millones de subs y el tiene talento (creo q soy el unico commemt en español)
😘😍😍
Richard Marx has always had the talent to work in many genres. I wish he and Luther would have sung it together. Always been my favorite solo rock/pop star. I first learned about Richard Marx was in 1987 for Endless Summer Nights. Loved that song so much I bought the cassette. I was a kid then. I heard Right Here Waiting. I got on my keyboard and started playing it by ear. Even today, I am still a big fan of him.
beautiful song
Cant believe you are here on YouTube. You've been my inspiration since childhood. My favourite...may God bless you with a long life.
Linda música 🎶😍❤👏
Beautiful song ?👌🎶🎹
Beautiful song 👏👏👏
He sounds like a phaggot soy boy! Stupid song, dumbass singer!
Dear Mr. Marx, thank you for your wonderful music. We hope you will come to perform in Spain someday!
Would like a video for this.

Is there a greater singer/songwriter around ? Not since Brian Wilson in his prime. This man is a musical genius
I love you Dad I'll see you again someday
Fantastic 👍👍👍😻

Bautiful song thanks
After 20 years this is all you can do.? Hollywood wannabe phoney clown...dirty hypocrite glorified thief
I always liked this song but. Hearing it from the writer sets it as a complete new standard .. Absolutely
Dance with My Father
Luther Vandross
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
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 how mama would cry for him
I'd pray for her even more than me
I'd pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much to much
But could you send her
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
Songwriters: Luther Vandross / Richard Marx

Hermosa cancion Richard, gracias por seguir deleitandonos con tu musica, bendiciones.
Missing my Dad RIP DAD we will soon be a forever family I'm working on it
What a legend!
I love your version of this song. I just saw you and Peter Cetera in concert at Thunder Valley in Lincoln this past Friday - 7/13. That's the first time I found out the history of this song and that you helped write it for Luther Vandross. I didn't think anyone could sing it better than Luther, but you do it justice too.
I really enjoyed the concert on Friday. I grew up listening to you & Chicago back in the 80's. It brought back some good childhood memories.
i miss u every minute ..i know you feel &here around me i want to make you always proud ..i know you wanted alot to see me always working hard for my dreams& dance with me in my wedding ..u are my first love i u love more than any one if i choose to dance with my two blessed lovers ibrahim &Ahmed and make u always proud and stay strong even when i am done

As a father I miss my first born..rest in peace my son. Years are starting pass but the memories are here always alive in my heart..love you...Dad
Maravillosa voz!!
And then I cried...

This will always be for you & yours. I miss you more, I love you Moore! 😚

OOOH... So beautiful
😢😢😢 Always liked Richards music back when i was younger.. Nothing has changed 😊
Beautiful heartfelt story Richard Marx Thank you.. I love your voice and music 💕🌹💖✌
I have waited years to hear a proper recording of this song by you. I've seen a few live videos here and there but i'm so happy you finally recorded it. I love the original Luther version but for me this is the definitive version.
