Dance With My Father

[Verse 1]

Ohhhh Yeah

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs, he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved

[Chorus]
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
Oohhhhh yeah

[Verse 2]
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah-yeah
Then finally make me do
Just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how mama would cry for him yeah
I'd pray for her even more than me
I'd pray for her even more than me

[Chorus]
I know I'm praying for much, too much
But could you send back
The only man she loved
I know You don't do it usually
But dear Lord, she's dying to dance with my father again

I know I'm praying for much, too much
But could you send back
The only man she loved
I know You don't do it usually
But dear Lord, she's dying to dance with my father again
Ohhhhhh

To dance with my father again
