Dance With My Father

Intro: Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocense 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 reintro: How I'd love love love, to dance with my father again When I and my mother would dissagree 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 prayed for her even more than me, I prayed for her even more than me (Re-intro) (then modulate up a whole step) I know I'm praying for much to 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.
