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

It's supposed to be an unwinding song yet now merely a regretful memory
