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 dacne with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
Cause I love love love to dance wiht my father again
OOOOO OOOH
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
And Finally Make me do Just what my momma said
Later that night when I was alseep
He left a dollar Under my sheet
Neva dreamed that he would be gone from me
if I could steal one final glance one final step one finaldance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I love love To dance with my father again
Some times I listen outside her door
And here how my mother cried for him
I prayd for her even more than me
I prayd for her ever 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 I usually but dear lord she dying
To dance tih my father again
Every night I fall asleep this all I ever dream
