A Song For A Lonely Heart

Lately, all the songs on the radio seems to touch the heart. Not in a bad way, and not in too sad a way. Simply nostalgic.. guess it must be the that time of the year where you celebrate the day that you were born. It brings all sorts of jumbled up sentiments. Adding another number to her age.

Well, I am not that vain. I do not mind if there's a white hair appearing now and there. That would be normal..everyone will get older. You know how much I love birthdays.
A slow song for the sad heart :

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

Then he would
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,
But 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,
My mama crying for him
I pray for her even more than me
And I pray for her even more than me

I know I’m praying for much, maybe too much
But, God, could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord,
she’s dying to dance with my father again
And every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
To dance with my father again..

Beautiful and yet soulful lyrics. Now Cat understands why people would choose to stay as a family rather than follow their heart desires. It's the moments and the memories that you leave to the kids. No matter how much a person loves someone, that love would never surpasses the love for their family. One of it would always have to be sacrificed.



Lonely but peaceful night tonight.
