Four Semitones Above Original
Intro:
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
D...
dance with my father again.
...D
When I and my mother would disagree, to get my way I'd run from her to him
D A/C# G He'd make me
just to comfort me, yeah yeah, and 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
Bridge
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door, and 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
Chorus with key-change (Up a tone)
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 lord she's dying to dance with my
father again
Outro
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
