[00:15.960]Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
[00:28.070]My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
[00:38.990]Spin me around till I fell asleep
[00:45.070]Then up the stairs he would carry me
[00:49.520]And I knew for sure I was loved
[00:59.330]If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
[01:11.800]I\'d play a song that would never, ever end
[01:15.630]How I’d love, love, love
[01:19.520]To dance with my father again
[01:34.570]When I and my mother would disagree
[01:40.850]To get my way, I would run from her to him
[01:46.790]He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
[01:52.710]Then finally make me do just what my mama said
[01:58.700]Later that night when I was asleep
[02:04.540]He left a dollar under my sheet
[02:08.940]Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[02:15.820]If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
[02:28.280]I’d play a song that would never, ever end
[02:32.830]‘Cause I’d love, love, love
[02:36.700]To dance with my father again
[02:43.040]Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
[02:48.930]And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
[02:55.730]I pray for her even more than me
[03:01.870]I pray for her even more than me
[03:25.090]I know I’m praying for much too much
[03:30.930]But could you send back the only man she loved
[03:37.250]I know you don’t do it usually
[03:41.630]But dear Lord she’s dying
[03:45.820]To dance with my father again
[03:51.610]Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
[04:09.390]I know you don\'t do it usually
[04:13.630]But dear lord she\'s dying
[04:18.030]To dance with my father again
