[00:14.990]back when i was a child
[00:21.290]before life removed all the innocence
[00:27.220]my father would lift me high
[00:33.280]and dance with my mother and me and then
[00:38.030]spin me around till i fell asleep
[00:43.390]then up the stairs he would carry me
[00:48.510]and i knew for sure i was loved
[00:55.190]if i could get another chance
[00:59.240]another walk
[01:04.170]another dance with him.
[01:07.600]i'd play a song that would never,ever end
[01:12.530]how i love,love,love
[01:14.030]to dance with my father again
[01:31.190]when i and my mother would disagree
[01:37.370]to get my way i would run from her to him
[01:43.670]he'd make me laugh just to comfort me
[01:47.600]then finally make me do just what my mama said
[01:55.280]later that night when i was asleep
[02:01.140]he left a dollar under my sheet
[02:05.760]never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[02:12.380]if i could steal one final glance.
[02:18.180]one final step
[02:20.860]one final dance with him
[02:24.980]i'd play a song that would never,ever end
[02:29.290]'cause i love,love,love
[02:33.340]to dance with my father again
[02:39.710]sometimes i'd listen outside her door
[02:45.570]and i'd hear how my mother cried for him
[02:51.620]i pray for her even more than me
[02:57.550]i pray for her even more than me
[03:05.260]i know i'm praying so much too much
[03:23.860]but could you send back the only man she loved
[03:29.330]i know you don't do it usually
[03:34.320]but dear lord she's dying
[03:38.570]to dance with my father again
[03:47.430]every night i fall asleep this is all i ever dream
