Dance with My Father

Back when I was a child

  • 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 'till 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
  • 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 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 again
  • Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
  • And I'd hear how mama would cry for him
  • I'd pray for her even more than me
  • I'd pray for her even more than me
  • I know I'm praying for much to much
  • But could you send her
  • 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
