[Verse 1]
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 till 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
[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
Then finally make me do just what my momma 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
Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I'd pray for her even more than me
I'd pray for her even more than me
[Verse 4]* KEY CHANGE
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
[Mini Bridge]
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
[Outro]
