Song | Dance With My Father |
Artist | Joana Zimmer |
Album | Showtime |
[00:15.960] | Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence |
[00:28.070] | My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then |
[00:38.990] | Spin me around till I fell asleep |
[00:45.070] | Then up the stairs he would carry me |
[00:49.520] | And I knew for sure I was loved |
[00:59.330] | If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him |
[01:11.800] | I\'d play a song that would never, ever end |
[01:15.630] | How I’d love, love, love |
[01:19.520] | To dance with my father again |
[01:34.570] | When I and my mother would disagree |
[01:40.850] | To get my way, I would run from her to him |
[01:46.790] | He’d make me laugh just to comfort me |
[01:52.710] | Then finally make me do just what my mama said |
[01:58.700] | Later that night when I was asleep |
[02:04.540] | He left a dollar under my sheet |
[02:08.940] | Never dreamed that he would be gone from me |
[02:15.820] | If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him |
[02:28.280] | I’d play a song that would never, ever end |
[02:32.830] | ‘Cause I’d love, love, love |
[02:36.700] | To dance with my father again |
[02:43.040] | Sometimes I’d listen outside her door |
[02:48.930] | And I’d hear how my mother cried for him |
[02:55.730] | I pray for her even more than me |
[03:01.870] | I pray for her even more than me |
[03:25.090] | I know I’m praying for much too much |
[03:30.930] | But could you send back the only man she loved |
[03:37.250] | I know you don’t do it usually |
[03:41.630] | But dear Lord she’s dying |
[03:45.820] | To dance with my father again |
[03:51.610] | Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream |
[04:09.390] | I know you don\'t do it usually |
[04:13.630] | But dear lord she\'s dying |
