Dance With My Father

[00:15.55] Back when I was a child

[00:21.81] Before life removed all the innocence

[00:27.30] My father would lift me high

[00:33.55] And dance with my mother and me and then

[00:38.80] Spin me around till I fell asleep

[00:44.55] Then up the stairs he would carry me

[00:49.05] And I knew for sure I was loved

[00:56.05] If I could get another chance

[01:02.05] Another walk, another dance with him

[01:08.30] I'd play a song that would never ever end

[01:13.30] How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again, ooh

[01:32.30] When I and my mother would disagree

[01:38.30] To get my way I would run from her to him

[01:44.05] He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah

[01:50.30] Then finally make me do just what my momma said

[01:56.05] Later that night when I was asleep

[02:01.80] He left a dollar under my sheet

[02:06.55] Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

[02:13.06] If I could steal one final glance, one final step

[02:21.80] One final dance with him

[02:25.55] I'd play a song that would never ever end

[02:30.05] 'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again

[02:40.55] Sometimes I'd listen outside her door

[02:46.55] And I'd hear how my mother cried for him

[02:52.55] I pray for her even more than me

[02:58.30] I pray for her even more than me

[03:18.55] I know I'm praying for much too much

[03:24.05] But could you send back the only man she loved?

[03:30.80] I know you don't do it usually

[03:35.30] But dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again

[03:48.80] Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
