I know this is a looonngggg shot but I heard a song on MagicFM the other day about 4.30 am.

It's a 'love' song, sung by I reckon a black singer and the lyrics went on about this person/boy talking about how his parents enjoyed dancing, then the father died and the boy wished his mother could have one last dance with his Daddy.

I've tried chucking all sorts into google but not come up with anything !!!

I know it's a long shot but .............

Thx
 
Dance with my father - luther vandross

sounds like that to me

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
