Dance with My Father
英文歌词:
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
I'd 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
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 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 so much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know u don't do it usually
But dear lord she's dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep this is all I ever dream
学习笔记：
1.before life removed all the innocence
用很形象化的手法，描绘小时候的天真懵懂；在写作中运用这种形象化的手法，能给考官感觉到文章符合英文严谨的习惯。
所以一般烤鸭们在写类似意思的句子的时候，能写出when I was innocent 就已经很不错了，以后烤鸭们可以借鉴一下这种写法。
2.I play a song that would never, ever end
用ever进行再次强调，never和ever两个词在尾音押韵，很朗朗上口。
在雅思口语中强调“永远不”时，可以尝试着开始使用，能给考官感觉很地道的。
3.comfort
既可以做动词也可以做名词，一般在使用时，会较常用到其形容词形式comfortable。
这里需要说明一下make sb. comfortable 的意思是使某人舒适，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，有一种做贼的意味，由于父亲已经离去了，所以歌者的这种愿望是不可能实现的。在西方宗教上这种愿望是有违上帝的旨意，所以歌词在描述时，使用了略带罪恶感的steal。
5.be dying to do
渴望做某事，可以用来替换desire to do的老套说法。
或者在口语中也可使用，略带夸张幽默的说法。
