Certainly a meaningful song that every daughter around the world will be moved while listening to it.
And I am one of them.
I have heard of this song some months ago. It seemed like very popular that most of the people that I know of are talking about it. I don’t belong to those people who would prefer to listen classic or slow songs. Despite I am a woman, and I know most of the women my age would love to listen to such song genre, I am different. My choices include heavy metal, rock, alternative rock and any loud music. I am different.
Anyhow, just a while ago I was working on my papers when this song came across my mind. Thought of maybe hearing it again, closer this time with lyrics on. So, I searched on the internet for a video of the song with its lyrics on. Well, I remember I was busy with my work so instead of reading through the lyrics, I had my headset on and listen to it as it was played while continuing on my work.
My mind was focused on my computer screen.. that’s what it was before I really “started” listening to the song. I was taken aback as my ear started to “digest” each word from the 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….
These lines bring me back to my childhood. Back then when everything was so real. Everything was so ideal. Everything was oh so perfect. I didn’t really get a chance to dance with my Dad. Unfortunately he left us for another woman when I was about 16 years old. But I had the best childhood memories with him.
I never really get a chance to dance with my father. My-used-to-be-super hero. However, I had the best playmate in him. He taught me how to play a toy gun, assemble a toy car, kick a soccer ball and punch a traitor’s face.
I never really get a chance to have my father as my first dance on my debut. Not only because I never really had the real debut (cotillion) party but because of the fact that even if I had, dancing with him and having him as my first dance would be very impossible.
If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with him
I’d play a song that will never ever end
How I’d love love love
To dance with my father again…..
Again, I never really had a chance to dance with my Dad. But we often had the best talk. Despite my very young age that time, Daddy used to talk to me as if I was just his age. He taught me anything about guns, relationships, men, world,.. just all about real things.
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’s make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do
Just what my Mama said…..
I remember back then when I was still a student. Mother, being the one so concerned about future and studies would really want us to excel in school. Modesty aside, I was able to keep flying grades every year. I always have the top or the second to the top rank in class. Mama was very proud of that. Dad was too.
There was once when I failed to get into the same rank. I can see how mother’s face turned red when he heard my name called last. I was on my way going to the stage to get my ribbon, but Mother didn’t make a single move at all to come up on stage and pin my ribbon like what she usually does. I know I disappoint her. All of a sudden, someone stood up and went up the stage and pinned my 13th honor ribbon for me. He even whispered saying “Good job, kid. Keep it up!”
If I could steal one final glance
When final step
One final dance with him
I’d play a song that will never ever end
‘Cause I’d love love love to
Dance with my father again…..
Well, if I can turn back time I still will prefer not to take the chance to dance with my Dad. I still will want to have it the same way as I had with him before. I’d still take the same memories.
Pap’s, this post is for you. You might not get a chance to read this (you don’t really care to give time to read any article), but still I’d like you to know that I am still your little darling, the one you used to play and laugh and talk with before… Thanks for the memories!
