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 ’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, loveTo 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
sengaja aku mencari lirik lagu ini, aku suka liriknya, karena dengan menyukainya aku menjadi lebih bisa menghargai abi (di-blog ini aku memanggil babe dg sebutan abi, boleh ya… hehe 
), bagaimana beliau memperjuangkan semua untuk keluarga.
Beliau pagi-pagi sekali demi mencari sesuap nasi, ketika bagaimana beliau mengayuh sepeda menuju tempat kerjanya… aku ingin sekali berkata bahwa aku tidak seperti kelihatannya, aku sangat menghargai abi, apapun mereka berkata abilah orang yang paling gigih berjuang, memiliki prinsip yang kuat wallaupun terkadang keras, tetapi keras untuk kebaikan.
Abi maafkan semua kesalahanku, aku ingin menjadi anak yang berbakti, aku ingin menunjukkan padamu bahwa usahamu selama ini tak kan sia-sia dan tentu saja takkan kubiarkan sia-sia.
