[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
|
Spend 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 was 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
|
I'd hear how my mother cried for him
|
I'd pray for her even more than me [x2]
|
|
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 night I fall asleep
|
And this is all I ever dream
|
|
Oooh...
|
