Intro: 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 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, never 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 and 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 Bridge: Sometimes I'd listen outside her door and I hear my mother 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 this is all I ever dreamed
