Dance With My Father

Back when I was a child Before life removedall the innocence My father would lift me high And dance with my mother and me And thenSpin 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 one another dance with him I'd play a songthat would never never end How I'd love love loveTo dance with my father again OooohWhen I and my mother disagreed To get my way I would runfrom her to him He'd make me laugh just to comfort meYeah yeah Then finally make me do just what my momma said Later that night when I was asleep He left a dollar under my sheet Never dreamed that hewould be gone from me If I could steal one final glance One final stepOne final dance with him I'd play a song that'd nevernever end Cos I'd love love loveto dance with my father again Sometimes I'd listenoutside the door And I'd hear how my mommaof cried for him I pray for her even more than meI pray for her even more than meI know I'm praying for much too muchBut could you send back The only man she lovedI know you don't do it usually But dear Lord she's dying To dance with my father again Every night I fall asleepand this is all I ever dream
