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 motherand 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
- 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 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
- If I could steal one 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 momma 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 night I fall asleep
- And this is all I ever dream

It's supposed to be an unwinding song yet now merely a regretful memory
seriously better than the original version
