Dance With My Father
[00:14.68] Back when I was a child
[00:17.20] Before life removed
[00:23.44] all the innocence
[00:24.47] My father would
[00:28.72] lift me high
[00:30.22] And dance with my
[00:34.21] mother and me
[00:35.95] And then spin me around
[00:38.20] 'til I fell asleep
[00:41.24] Then up the stairs
[00:45.73] he would carry me
[00:46.97] And I knew for sure
[00:50.19] I was loved
[00:52.97] If I could get
[00:56.23] another chance
[00:58.92] Another walk,
[01:01.73] another dance with him
[01:07.98] I'd play a song that
[01:10.45] would never, ever end
[01:12.71] How I'd love, love, love
[01:14.24] To dance with my
[01:17.20] father again
[01:31.96] When I and my mother
[01:33.21] would disagree
[01:34.45] To get my way I would
[01:36.23] run from her to him
[01:39.70] He'd make me laugh
[01:42.21] just to comfort me
[01:45.94] Then finally make me
[01:49.19] do just what my mama said
[01:52.94] Later that night when
[01:55.46] I was asleep
[01:57.95] He left a dollar
[02:02.17] under my sheet
[02:03.70] Never dreamed that he
[02:07.21] Would be gone from me
[02:10.20] If I could steal
[02:13.70] one final glance
[02:16.70] One final step,
[02:19.73] one final dance with him
[02:22.70] I'd play a song that
[02:26.20] would never, ever end
[02:28.43] 'Cause I'd love, love, love
[02:31.71] To dance with my
[02:35.45] father again
[02:40.45] Sometimes I'd listen
[02:42.44] outside her door
[02:43.21] And I'd hear how my
[02:46.93] mama cried for him
[02:48.70] I pray for her even
[02:52.45] more than me
[02:54.76] I pray for her even
[02:57.97] more than me
[03:02.43] I know I'm praying
[03:20.94] for much too much
[03:22.75] But could
[03:25.47] You send back the
[03:27.69] only man she loved?
[03:29.47] I know You don't
[03:31.69] do it usually
[03:33.68] But, dear Lord,
[03:35.22] she's dying
[03:37.73] To dance with my
[03:39.45] father again
[03:40.97] Every night I
[03:45.96] fall asleep
[03:49.30] And this is all
[03:51.45] I ever dream
