| [00:14.990] |
back when i was a child |
| [00:21.290] |
before life removed all the innocence |
| [00:27.220] |
my father would lift me high |
| [00:33.280] |
and dance with my mother and me and then |
| [00:38.030] |
spin me around till i fell asleep |
| [00:43.390] |
then up the stairs he would carry me |
| [00:48.510] |
and i knew for sure i was loved |
| [00:55.190] |
if i could get another chance |
| [00:59.240] |
another walk |
| [01:04.170] |
another dance with him. |
| [01:07.600] |
i'd play a song that would never,ever end |
| [01:12.530] |
how i love,love,love |
| [01:14.030] |
to dance with my father again |
| [01:31.190] |
when i and my mother would disagree |
| [01:37.370] |
to get my way i would run from her to him |
| [01:43.670] |
he'd make me laugh just to comfort me |
| [01:47.600] |
then finally make me do just what my mama said |
| [01:55.280] |
later that night when i was asleep |
| [02:01.140] |
he left a dollar under my sheet |
| [02:05.760] |
never dreamed that he would be gone from me |
| [02:12.380] |
if i could steal one final glance. |
| [02:18.180] |
one final step |
| [02:20.860] |
one final dance with him |
| [02:24.980] |
i'd play a song that would never,ever end |
| [02:29.290] |
'cause i love,love,love |
| [02:33.340] |
to dance with my father again |
| [02:39.710] |
sometimes i'd listen outside her door |
| [02:45.570] |
and i'd hear how my mother cried for him |
| [02:51.620] |
i pray for her even more than me |
| [02:57.550] |
i pray for her even more than me |
| [03:05.260] |
i know i'm praying so much too much |
| [03:23.860] |
but could you send back the only man she loved |
| [03:29.330] |
i know you don't do it usually |
| [03:34.320] |
but dear lord she's dying |
| [03:38.570] |
to dance with my father again |
| [03:47.430] |
every night i fall asleep this is all i ever dream |
