Intro :
Back when I was a child
Before life re moved al / l 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 a nother chance,
A nother walk, a nother dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father a gain
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 mama said
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 would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father a gain
Sometimes I'd listen out side her door
And I'd h / ear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more t / han me
I pray for her even more than me
(Modulation : en )
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 w / ith my father a gain
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
