| Artist | Jessica Sanchez |
| Album | American Idol Top 6: Contestant's Choice Season 11 |
| [00:16.670] | Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence |
| [00:28.710] | My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then |
| [00:39.880] | Spin me around till I fell asleep |
| [00:45.850] | Then up the stairs he would carry me |
| [00:50.570] | And I knew for sure I was loved |
| [00:57.80] | If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him |
| [01:09.80] | I\'d play a song that would never, ever end |
| [01:14.140] | How I’d love, love, love |
| [01:17.740] | To dance with my father again |
| [01:33.70] | When I and my mother would disagree |
| [01:38.120] | To get my way, I would run from her to him |
| [01:44.850] | He’d make me laugh just to comfort me |
| [01:50.970] | Then finally make me do just what my mama said |
| [01:56.930] | Later that night when I was asleep |
| [02:02.570] | He left a dollar under my sheet |
| [02:07.580] | Never dreamed that he would be gone from me |
| [02:13.930] | If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him |
| [02:26.130] | I’d play a song that would never, ever end |
| [02:31.170] | ‘Cause I’d love, love, love |
| [02:36.700] | To dance with my father again |
| [02:41.750] | Sometimes I’d listen outside her door |
| [02:47.210] | And I’d hear how my mother cried for him |
| [02:53.210] | I pray for her even more than me |
| [02:59.120] | I pray for her even more than me |
| [03:19.200] | I know I’m praying for much too much |
| [03:25.110] | But could you send back the only man she loved |
| [03:31.640] | I know you don’t do it usually |
| [03:36.150] | But dear Lord she’s dying To dance with my father agai |
| [03:48.980] | Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream |
| [00:16.670] | Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence |
