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 ooh
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 the
things my mother 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 again
Sometimes I'd listen
outside her door
and I'd hear how my
mother 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
