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

　　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

　　Id play a song that would never, ever end

　　How I 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

　　Hed 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

　　Id play a song that would never, ever end

　　Cause I love, love, love

　　To dance with my father again

　　Sometimes Id listen outside her door

　　And Id 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 Im praying so much too much

　　But could you send back the only man she loved

　　I know u dont do it usually

　　But dear lord shes dying

　　To dance with my father again

　　Every night I fall asleep this is all I ever dream

　　學習筆記：

　　1.before life removed all the innocence

　　用很形象化的手法，描繪小時候的天真懵懂;在寫作中運用這種形象化的手法，能給考官感覺到文章符合英文嚴謹的習慣。

　　所以一般烤鴨們在寫類似意思的句子的時候，能寫出when I was innocent 就已經很不錯了，以后烤鴨們可以借鑒一下這種寫法。

　　2.I play a song that would never, ever end

　　用ever進行再次強調，never和ever兩個詞在尾音押韻，很朗朗上口。

　　在雅思口語中強調永遠不時，可以嘗試著開始使用，能給考官感覺很地道的。

　　3.comfort

　　既可以做動詞也可以做名詞，一般在使用時，會較常用到其形容詞形式comfortable。

　　這里需要說明一下make sb. comfortable 的意思是使某人舒適，但comfort sb. 的意思是安慰某人，二者的意思不太相同。

　　4.if I could steal one final glance

　　steal 用的很有特色，有一種做賊的意味，由于父親已經離去了，所以歌者的這種愿望是不可能實現的。在西方宗教上這種愿望是有違上帝的旨意，所以歌詞在描述時，使用了略帶罪惡感的steal。

　　5.be dying to do

　　渴望做某事，可以用來替換desire to do的老套說法。

　　或者在口語中也可使用，略帶夸張幽默的說法
