|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
yeah yeah |
|
Then 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 |
|
If I could steal one final glance |
|
When 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 |
|
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door |
|
And I'd hear how mama would cry for him |
|
I'd pray for her even more than me |
|
I'd pray for her even more than me |
|
I know I'm praying for much to much |
|
But could you send her |
|
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 |
|
Every night I fall asleep |
|
And this is all I ever again |
