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 will disagree,
to get my way i would run from her to him he make me laugh just to comfort me,
yeah, yeah than finally make me do just what my mama says 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 will never,
never end cause i love, i love to dance with my father again
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear how my mama 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
