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
and finally make me d just what my momma 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 could steal one final glance
one 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 my mother cried for him
i'd pray for her even more than me
i'd pray for her even more than me
i know im praying for much to much
but could you send back,the only man she loved
i know you dont 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 dream
