Dance with My Father

Back when, I was a child Before life removed All the innocence My father, would lift me up And dance with My mother And me and then, uh 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 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 Ooooh When I 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 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 How I'd, love, love, love To dance with My father, again Sometimes, I'd listen Outside her door And I'd here How mama Would cry for him I'd pray for her Even more than me I'd, pray for her Even more than me Ooooh, ooh Ooh, ooooh I know I'm praying For much, to much But could You send back The only man She loved I know you don't Do it usually But dear Lord She's dyin To dance With my father Again Every night I fall asleep And this is all I ever dream
