Dance With My Father Lyrics

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

OOOOO OOOH

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
Then finally make me do Just what my momma said
Later that night when I was alseep
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 To dance with my father again
Some times I listen outside her door
And I'd here how my mother cried for him

I prayed for her even more than me
I prayed for her ever 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 dying

To dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleep this all I ever dream
