爸爸的道别之吻 · 永清

A Goodbye Kiss 爸爸的道别之吻 The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob stood up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age." Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said,"Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moments."Frank began," I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed he family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad." He looked at us and said," I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, you smelled the ocean."Frank&`&s voice dropped a bit." When the weather was so bad he would drive me to school. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching.Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Then I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me good-bye!"He paused and then went on," I remember the day I thought I was too old for a good-bye kiss.When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said,&`& No, Dad.&`& It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised looked on his face.”I said,&`& Dad, I&`&m too old for a good-bye kiss. I&`&m too old for any kind of kiss.&`& My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes wetted. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked at me.&`& You&`&re right,&`& he said.&`& You are a big boy…… a man. I won&`&t kiss you anymore.&`&"For that moment, Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes. "It wasn&`&t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back."I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again." Guys,you don&`&t know the thing I wanna most is just one more kiss on the cheek……to feel his rough old face…… to smell the ocean on him…… to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man. If I had been a man, I would been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a good-bye kiss."爸爸去哪儿英文版演唱：阿摩司See my daddy he looks so coolLife with papa likes magic bookLovely father cooks tasty foodTeaching me everything to doBaby as you come ,my life becomes fullYou make me alright when I m feeling blueConnecting our home in a loving loopEverything we are going throughPapa, papa, when shall we travel far?Taking my telescope to see the starBaby, baby, taking the map you drewFollow me do as I doI must be so strong to be your papa I learn to do well from the very startAs time goes by you gradually grow upBaby you are always my lovePapa, papa, when shall we travel far?Taking my telescope to see the starBaby, baby, taking the map you drewFollow me do as I doFunny papa runs very fast You are mommy s and my superstarYou know why I love that cookie jarYou re the best man always in my heartPapa , papa, when shall we travel far?Taking my telescope to see the starBaby, baby, taking the map you drewFollow me do as I doLalalalalaTaking my telescope to see the starBaby, baby, taking the map you drewFollow me do as I doPapa , papa, when shall we travel far?I won t be afraid when sky s getting dark Baby, baby, you really did so greatYou are forever my sweet!Twinkle, twinkle, little star,How I wonder what you are.Twinkle, twinkle, little star,How I wonder what you are
