    I was recently in Bermuda and heard a song with the theme of a daughter remebering dancing with her deceased father as a young girl. Lovely voice, haunting melody. "I'll never dance with him again . . .," or some such. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks so much.

    kinda sounds to me like Dance With My Father, but I could be wrong. It's originally sung by Luther Vandross, but I'm sure I heard of Celine Dion singing it as a tribute to him. Does this sound at all familiar?

    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 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’d love, love, love to dance with my father again


    Ooh, ooh


    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, yeah, yeah
    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 her, mama cryin’ for him
    I pray for her even more than me
    I pray for her even more than me


    I know I’m prayin’ 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 dyin’ to dance with my father again
    Every night I fall asleep
    And this is all I ever dream

    Sorry if that's not what your looking for...

    Here's a bit more on Dance With My Father in case it turns out to be the correct song.
