DANCE WITH MY FATHER - Bb - Luther Vandross - Kar

[00:16.40] Back when I was a child

[00:21.90] Before life removed all the innocence

[00:28.65] My father would lift me high

[00:33.90] And dance with my mother and me

[00:38.15] And then

[00:39.65] Spin me around 'till I fell asleep

[00:45.65] Then up the stairs he would carry me

[00:50.15] And I knew for sure

[00:53.15] I was loved

[00:56.90] If I could get another chance

[01:02.65] Another walk

[01:05.65] Another dance with him

[01:09.40] I'd play a song that would never ever end

[01:13.90] How I'd love love love

[01:17.65] To dance with my father again

[01:33.90] When I and my mother

[01:36.15] Would disagree

[01:39.15] To get my way I would run

[01:41.90] From her to him

[01:45.90] He'd make me laugh just to comfort me

[01:50.90] Then finally make me do

[01:53.15] Just what my mama said

[01:56.90] Later that night when I was asleep

[02:02.65] He left a dollar under my sheet

[02:07.15] Never dreamed that he

[02:10.40] Would be gone from me

[02:13.90] If I could steal one final glance

[02:19.65] One final step

[02:22.90] One final dance with him

[02:26.40] I'd play a song that would never ever end

[02:30.90] 'Cause I'd love love love to

[02:34.90] Dance with my father again

[02:41.15] Sometimes I'd listen outside her door

[02:47.15] And I'd hear how mama would cry for him

[02:53.15] I'd pray for her even more than me

[02:59.15] I'd pray for her even more than me

[03:19.15] I know I'm praying for much to much

[03:24.90] But could you send her

[03:28.15] The only man she loved

[03:31.65] I know you don't do it usually

[03:36.15] But Dear Lord she's dying

[03:39.90] To dance with my father again

[03:49.15] Every night I fall asleep

[03:51.90] And this is all I ever dream
