Dance With My Father

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 thenSpin me around til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure, i was lovedIf I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How Id love, love, love, to dance with my father againWhen I and my mother will 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 mama saysLater that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from meIf 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, love to dance with my father againSometimes Id listen outside her door
And Id hear how my mama cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than meI 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 shes dying to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dreamI know You don't do it usually
But dear Lord shes dying to dance with my father again
