Dance With My Father歌词

[00:16.12]Back when I was a child,before life removed all the innocence,
[00:28.12]My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
[00:39.28]Spin me around ′til I fell asleep.
[00:44.97]Then up the stairs he would carry me
[00:49.59]And I knew for sure I was loved.
[00:59.62]If I could get another chance,another walk,another dance with him,
[01:11.66]I ′d play a song that would never,ever end.
[01:16.63]How I ′d love,love,love
[01:20.24]To dance with my father again.
[01:35.26]When I and my mother would disagree
[01:41.29]To get my way,I would run from her to him.
[01:47.25]He ′d make me laugh just to comfort me,
[01:52.83]Then finally make me do just what my mama said.
[01:58.89]Later that night when I was asleep,
[02:04.64]He left a dollar under my sheet,
[02:09.45]Never dreamed that he would be gone from me.
[02:16.27]If I could steal one final glance,one final step,one final dance with him,
[02:28.39]I ′d play a song that would never,ever end,
[02:33.33]′Cause I ′d love,love,love
[02:37.01]To dance with my father again.
[02:43.27]Sometimes I ′d listen outside her door,
[02:49.08]And I ′d hear how my mother cried for him.
[02:55.08]I pray for her even more than me.
[03:01.05]I pray for her even more than me.
[03:24.41]I know I ′m praying for much too much,
[03:29.73]But could you send back the only man she loved.
[03:36.52]I know you don ′t do it usually
[03:41.21]But dear Lord she ′s dying.
[03:45.21]To dance with my father again,
[03:51.71]Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream.
