[00:16.340]Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
[00:28.260]My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
[00:39.490]Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep
[00:45.430]Then up the stairs he would carry me
[00:49.840]And I knew for sure I was loved
[00:54.780]
[00:56.660]If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
[01:09.39]I’d play a song that would never, ever end
[01:13.730]How I’d love, love, love
[01:17.600]To dance with my father again
[01:32.460]When I and my mother would disagree
[01:38.620]To get my way, I would run from her to him
[01:44.570]He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
[01:50.500]Then finally make me do just what my mama said
[01:56.430]Later that night when I was asleep
[02:01.920]He left a dollar under my sheet
[02:06.960]Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[02:13.690]If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
[02:26.90]I’d play a song that would never, ever end
[02:30.500]‘Cause I’d love, love, love
[02:34.570]To dance with my father again
[02:41.30]Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
[02:46.520]And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
[02:52.680]I pray for her even more than me
[02:58.810]I pray for her even more than me
[03:18.900]I know I’m praying for much too much
[03:24.860]But could you send back the only man she loved
[03:31.160]I know you don’t do it usually
[03:35.760]But dear Lord she’s dying
[03:39.730]To dance with my father again
[03:48.820]Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
