BEC阅读：All I Ever Dream

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.
