Late, iconic R&B singer, Luther Vandross
Sang with a satin voice with coats of gloss.
As hitter of notes he never could go wrong.
"Dance With My Father" his last hit song.

The song that moves and
touches my heart is dance
with my father again.
Because I will never forget
the man my father was.
Back when I was a child
I longed to be in his
presence.
He had a larger than life
personality.
His nieces and nephews
looked at him as a father.
“Oh lord I’m dying to dance
with my father again”.
Everytime I hear the song I
begin to cry.
I long for his hug
I long to hear his voice
“Oh lord I’m dying to dance
with my father
again”
“ Oh lord we’re all dying
to dance with my father
again”.

It seems like just yesterday we were whooping
to Whitney Houston and crying to Luther vandross
for some yesterday goes further back and involves
black and white tv and cell phones that were as big as cats.
yesterday can be a painful thing to take for some.
some Of us have lost are family and friends. Lost there home to natural disaster.
or looked in a mirror and thought why I am I no longer beautiful.
this is why we say live everyday as if it was your last cause yesterday goes by so fast.
well remember always the tears of joy and the tears of sorrow but can we remember
and simply let yesterday be yesterday.
are we capable getting over break ups,forgiving ourselves for past mistakes,and
not letting fear move us away from what yesterday can not offer us. relief.
it seems like just yesterday. We were whooping to Whitney Houston and crying to
Luther vandross that's okay for to do that still but do and know things lie ahead that
are good.and you don't need to forget the past to see the future

Let me hear the melody-a sweet sweet melody
One that even the birds can't sing.
Let me feel the beat-a soft, strong beat
Whose rhythmn reaches my very soul.
Till the evening dawn
Chases away the sun.
Sing a song for me-a sweet sweet melody
One that even the angels can't sing.
Wrap me in warmth-written just for me
Cover me from my head to my toe.
I want to feel I belong
Turn my house into a home.
I climb the stairs-turn the key-
Say you'll sing a song for me.
Sing a song for me-a sweet sweet melody
One which only my heart can sing.
Oh if only you really knew-
How much I love you.
Sing a song for me-one you ordain yourself
My shattered broken dreams mend on a shelf.
Sing a song for me-bring freedom to my soul
Maybe I'm just too demanding..
This is what it sounds like when doves cry.
