to those who still have fathers. please love them with all your heart before it's too late. make him happy while he's still alive. i lost my dad when i was 16 y/o and now I'm 18. It's been 2 years but I feel like it's just happened yesterday.
My dad died 10 years ago, and I can think of him and it hurts just as bad as it did the day he died. I think of him all the time. I don't have any videos of him, just pictures, but I can still hear his voice, even though it's become faint over the years. I remember his warm smile, him carrying me through the field on his shoulders, his goofy jokes, his exciting stories, his sad eyes looking at me when I was sick one night, his big hugs. Even though he has missed so much of my life, I know how much I was loved. I treasure that love and those memories. And I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I will dance with him again in heaven before our Lord Jesus Christ.
My dad passed away 5yrs ago, feels like yesterday. I missed him so much!! 😪😭😭 , this song reminds me of him. Please treasure ur parents while they're still alive.
My father just passed away last Tuesday (Sept. 15, 2020) I didn't see him for almost two years and his keep on telling us that he wants to go home on Christmas day but... 💔It's so painful. He went home for his burial but he is already cremated. I'm still crying every night and praying to see him for the last time 💔 IMISSYOU TATAY! 💔💔
I feel you.... My dad kept saying wanna go home too...but then he back for one night then never again.....He kept saying he wanna travel again with me. I promised him we travel again when he gets better but it never ever happens again ...
My father passed away july 17 2021 . Same with you i didnt see him for almost 2 year becouse i stay at another city and becouse the pandemi i cant visit him . Just talk at Whatsap /phone .. .. 😭😭😭
Chelsey Orozco same but my dad was gone for 5 years because we are immigrants and my dad had to stay in philippines I had to stay with my mom and my sister...this made me think of him
I discovered this song about two days ago and I spend the whole evening lying in my bed crying the day I discovered it because it made me realize how special and important fathers really are. The next day I went to my dad and hugged him. I even kissed him on the cheek goodnight! I rarely do it now a days unlike when I was younger because I've grown more independent but this song just reminded me of the time I was eight when I sat in his lap crying because I knew he was going to die eventually. My dad just smiled at me comfortingly while hugging me and said he'd be here for me for quite a long time. This song is just amazing.
What a beautiful voice!... My father passed away when I was young, when I discovered this song it makes me cry. I wished he dance with me on my wedding day.
Daddy was very sick, yet with family members looking on surrounded us still dressed in his robe. Music playing in the background, we looked at each other, and he extended his then withered hand, yet ever strong to me! To honor us both, as we both new this would be our last dance together. No, never, thanking God, for this will always be my truest memory. The best dance ever !!
How I wish I have dad growing up. Never get a chance to spend so much time with my dad. One thing I'm thankful for is that he's still alive and I know that it's never too late yet to make time with him.
My dad died when I was 14..my childhood ended that day. I am 70 yrs old now and cant wait to dance with him across heaven. He was the best dad ever...He took me to church every sun and Taught me to pray every night and left a dime in my shoe for ice cream on Ice cream day...I was so blessed for those years we had.
I love this version. Jessica's voice touched my heart so much that I cried deep in my heart. Father is gone from this world and I terribly miss him. Today is Father's Day. To all those who still have their fathers, Hug and thank your father. Happy Father's Day!
I agree with you Dickie, I loved this version and didn't know she sang a version. I posted Luther's version and the same message to fb about hugging and telling their father and also their mother that they love them. Parents are precious and should always know how much they are loved. Miss my mom and my dad terribly. Wishing you peace and remember the good times you had with him, it will bring comfort.
I've been listening to all sorts of father/daughter songs...I just lost mine 2 sundays ago...I miss you so much daddy...I wish we couldve had more moments together...
Everytime I heard Jessica's version of this song I falll out of tears . I don't have a father since I was young. She really nailed it. I felt hurt again . I remember how hard it was growing up without a father . Thank you for this song .
I just lost my dad two weeks ago. This song is really beautiful, and I would give anything to see him again, but I know that's not possible. I miss you daddy!! Rest in Peace.
+Hannah Clay- I am so glad you got to share that moment with him. Sadly, I will not get to have that moment with my daddy when I get married one day because he passed away 9 1/2 months ago.
This Is The Most Beautifully Gorgeous Cover I've Ever Heard. This Is Excatly Why I Love Cover Songs Because Of Gifted People Like Jessica Sanchez. Her Voice Is Pure With So Much Passion That I Can Feel It Through Every Note & Lyric.
I never had a real good relationship with dad growing up problem after after problem and he pushed me away forever. No matter how hard he tries its still not the same and i just cant forgive him. It felt like i had no father and it breaks my heart in pieces because ive never had a dance with him and never will now. I wish he knew how much im in pain after 22 years i still cant forgive him. 💔
I lost my dad at age 6, but even before that my parents were divorced so I really lost him before that. Although, I did get to see him occasionally on weekends but then, far too soon, he was gone forever. Now here I am at 60 yrs old & still missing him so much. Love you daddy! Someday I will see you again. Till then, please take care of my little girl who came to heaven at 18. See you both someday soon, love you!
I losst my father went i was 2years, old his died is not usual, because he had to take his life, i don’t have a chance to meet him, but everytime i hear this song, im very sad i miss him loved you dad
This song always makes me tear up, no matter who sings it. My father died way before his time. He was only 60. And when I was a little girl he use to put my feet on top of his and dance with me. I miss him so much. Love you dod
This song, original to Luther Vandross, helps me think about my father who left us when I was 9 days old. We separated by war. Over the years I feel like I have had an imaginary relationship with him. Time and circumstance kept us apart , I am 70+ years old and I still think of him and honor him. This song sung so beautifully by Miss Jessica Sanchez helps us remember those important people who are in our lives. WE don't have time for anything less than love for our fathers. As I searched for him I found he had passed away in 2004 and may he rest in peace.
Thanks for your story. This song has touched my heart to remind me about my beloved (adopted) father. We had once a dance together that's moment had been everlasting in my lifetime ever since. I have lost my beloved father when I was 14 years old; and now I am in 60s. During that time, I didn't know where he's buried under the circumstances. Then I found his graveyard after 6 years later. I thought that I have lost him forever, but God knows how much I missed and loved him. I still see him in my dreams now and then.
Im crying so much. I havent even met my father since I was born. But even though I dont have a dad, im still thankful because I have a mom that did hers and my dad's part 😘😭
This was last season my daddy got to see idol and he loved jessica. We used to talk over phone throughout idol nights. I miss u daddy I wish I could dance and talk to u one more time. We all miss and love u.
how i loved Jessica s version well still wants to cry upon hearing this song my God i missed my Dad hope someday we will meet again wherever he was Thanks so much for thismusic dedicated for our Fathers.
i really miss my father, its been a 13 years he died.... this coming April 17 his death anniversary.. papa i love you i know you are happy now.. thank you for everything. even were not too long bonding together.. but your still in my heart ... missyou
Everytime na mamimiss ko si Papa I always play this song then I'll close my eyes iimaginine ko na kasama ko sya and we are dancing together with this song :) Miss you Papa. Fly high! Wala nang sakit dyan sa heaven, bantayan mo kami palagi. As always I love you! :))
I lost my dad when I was only 1. My sister had more time with him then I did. I miss him and I love him so much. I wish I could have known him longer than a year. When I listen to this song I get chocked up at the part about the mom because I know how much my mama misses my dad. Every Father’s Day we go up to the cemetery and she doesn’t get out of the car because she says if she goes up there she’ll breakdown.
If you don't want to wake me up in this dream when the song end I won't worship you through the years anymore please let me dance with my father before you get me Lord
❤️😂 This song sang by Jessica Sanchez is the ONLY song on earth that can bring tears to my eyes every single time. Solute to this angelic voice, face, and personality for bringing millions closer to the existence and/or memories of their fathers. 🙏🏻
used to listen to this and thought about how it must hurt to lose your father and now that my dad died last year i cant stop crying while listening to this.
Naiiyak ako ngayon, namimiss ko na yung papa ko na namatay na. Hindi man lang kami naalagaan ni papa ng matagal nag hiwalay kasi sila ni mama bata palang kami, kaya sa lola’t lolo kami lumaki😭
my father is still alive, but my lolo did passed away. I have a broken family, but i never felt na wala akong father because he is there. Deep down in my heart, i know that you are really proud of me, papa eds! ❤️ I'll become successful like what u want. :)) Restwell in heaven ☺️
I love this song but in a differ t way to most as my dad is an alcoholic. I'd do anything for him to dance with me again but he won't because he's always just drinking on his own. I used to look up to him but now I can't, he's so different.. I miss him so much
I always tried to prepare somehow to the thing that my father can die someday. And I thought I am prepared. But I was wrong. Nobody can prepare himself for that kind of pain. He should live with us. We were really happy family, we loved each other. How can I live without him? Everybody tell me I should be glad that he lived so many years. But it look totally diffrent on my position. It doesn't matter how old he really was. For me: he lived for 22 years. I can't imagine right now how can I get married in the future without Him. I hope my pain someday will go away. I pray for that.
The last thing my dad told me before leaving me at my grandma's place was " someday we will be together again"... with a tight hug that was so warm and so nice to feel... It has been 17years... he hasnt come back home yet..no news...nothing.... i wrote him letters on his birthdays .... i prayed every night... i have a daughter now... and a great husband.. and i dont want my daughter to experience that ever... to feel like she has to wait and beg for love ...
My grandfather died a month ago. My grandfather who took care of me when I was a kid since I came from a broken family. This is one of the songs we requested to play while we are sending him to his home (cemetery) We never expected that he will die without being hospitalized and we can't do anything. It freakin hurts😭😭 Wherever you are tatay, we miss you everyday and we love you forever🖤
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 ‘til 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 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 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 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
My dad will be celebrating his 76th birthday in heaven on July 2, 2020... I sang this song on his wake, i don't have beautiful voice but i delivered it very smooth, loud and clear with tears in my eyes...
Wow! So beautiful. I've heard it many times by the original Luther Vandross which I thoroughly love but this is the first time I cried. Missing my dad. Well done Jessica.
I lost my dad june 13 2014, 1 month before he was to walk me down the aisle. a wedding day suppose to be the happiest day of ur life, well if was the saddest and top it off my wedding was 2 days before my dads birthday. it sucked.
