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 til I fell asleep
- Then up the stairs she 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 will 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 says
- 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 love to dance with my father again
- Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
- And I'd hear how my mama 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
- I know You don't do it usually
- But dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again
