Dance With My Father Lyrics

	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
	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 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 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

	Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
