    Unhappy Luther Vandross

    I'm sad to say that Luther Vandross, the man who wrote many hit songs, died yesterday at age 54.

    I haven't really heard of him but it's sad all the same to hear about his death. May he rest in peace.

    Wow... He was an awsome singer. My mother will be devestated...


    [SIZE=large]Dance With My Father[/SIZE]

    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

    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 momma 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
    I'd hear how my mother cried for him
    I'd pray for her even more than me

    I know I'm praying 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 dying to dance with my father again

    Every night I fall asleep
    And this is all I ever dream


    I bet Luthur Vandross is smiling down on all of us, as he finally dances with his father again... for all eternity.

    May he rest in peace.

    Our time on this planet is precious, and can be snuffed out at any moment. Every second of every day should mean something.

    Luther Vandross feat Mariah Carey

    My love,
    There's only you in my life
    The only thing that's bright

    My first love,
    You're every breath that I take
    You're every step I make

    And I
    (I-I-I-I-I)
    I want to share
    All my love with you
    No one else will do...

    And your eyes
    Your eyes, your eyes
    They tell me how much you care
    Ooh yes, you will always be
    My endless love

    Two hearts,
    Two hearts that beat as one
    Our lives have just begun

    Forever
    (Ohhhhhh)
    I'll hold you close in my arms
    I can't resist your charms

    And love
    Oh, love
    I'll be a fool
    For you,
    I'm sure
    You know I don't mind
    Oh, you know I don't mind

    'Cause you,
    You mean the world to me
    Oh
    I know
    I know
    I've found in you
    My endless love

    Oooh-woow
    Boom, boom
    Boom, boom, boom, boom, booom
    Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom

    Oooh, and love
    Oh, love
    I'll be that fool
    For you,
    I'm sure
    You know I don't mind
    Oh you know-
    I don't mind

    And, YES
    You'll be the only one
    'Cause NO one can deny
    This love I have inside
    And I'll give it all to you
    My love
    My love, my love
    My endless love

    Endless love to the Late Luther Vandross by fans
