Dance With My Father Lyrics
Verse 1: 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 till I fell asleep Then up the stairs he would carry me And I knew for sure I was loved Chorus: 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 Verse 2: When I and my mother would disagree To get my way I would run from her to him He'd make me laugh just to comfort me (yeah, yeah) Then finally make me do just what my momma said Later that night, when I fell asleep He left a dollar under my sheet Never dreamed that he would be gone from me Chorus: 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 Verse 3: Sometimes I'd listen outside her door And I'd hear how my mother cried for him I'd 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 Ohh... again Every night I fall asleep This is all I ever dream
