Dance With My Father
Back when I was a childBefore life removed all the innocenceMy father would lift me highAnd dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around til I fell asleepThen up the stairs he would carry meAnd I knew for sure, I was loved
If I could get another chanceAnother walk, another dance with himI'd play a song that would never ever endHow I'd love, love, love, to dance with my father again
When I and my mother will disagreeTo get my way I would run from her to himHe'd make me laugh just to comfort meYeah, yeah, then finally make me do just what my mama says
Later that night when I was asleepHe left a dollar under my sheetNever dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glanceOne final step, one final dance with himI'd play a song that would never ever end'Cause I'd love, love, love, love to dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her doorAnd I'd hear how my mama cried for himI pray for her even more than meI pray for her even more than me
I know, I'm praying for much too muchBut could You send back the only man she lovedI know You don't do it usuallyBut dear Lord shes dying to dance with my father againEvery night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
I know You don't do it usuallyBut dear Lord shes dying to dance with my father again
