Father-Daughter Dance (feat. Matt Hammitt)
The Father-Daughther dance
was only two weeks away
They asked her if she was planning to go
the only thing she could say
was: my daddy is not around
He is locked in a jail in the outskirts of town
I wish we could dance on that saturday night
But I'll have to turn it down
'cause my daddy is not around
The little girl wrote to the sherriff
Her request was unusual
Would you be willing to put on a dance
Since my father cannot come to school
My daddy is not around
He is locked in your jail in the outskirts of town
I wish we could dance on that saturday night
Please don't make me turn it down
'cause my daddy is not around
The dance was held at the prison
Her dad wore a shirt and tie
He told her: you look like a princess to me
May I have this dance tonight?
And their feet never touched the ground
They forgot where they were on the outskirts of town
They were dancing together on that saturday night
He spon her around and around
And their feet never touched the ground
After the final song played
and the schoolbus drove away
Alone in the dark his heart broken in two
Her daddy began to pray:
Dear Jesus, my girl needs her dad around
Not locked in a jail in the outskirts of town
Than we could dance every saturday night
I don't want to let her down
Help me turn my life around
'cause my girl needs her dad
around
was only two weeks away
They asked her if she was planning to go
the only thing she could say
was: my daddy is not around
He is locked in a jail in the outskirts of town
I wish we could dance on that saturday night
But I'll have to turn it down
'cause my daddy is not around
The little girl wrote to the sherriff
Her request was unusual
Would you be willing to put on a dance
Since my father cannot come to school
My daddy is not around
He is locked in your jail in the outskirts of town
I wish we could dance on that saturday night
Please don't make me turn it down
'cause my daddy is not around
The dance was held at the prison
Her dad wore a shirt and tie
He told her: you look like a princess to me
May I have this dance tonight?
And their feet never touched the ground
They forgot where they were on the outskirts of town
They were dancing together on that saturday night
He spon her around and around
And their feet never touched the ground
After the final song played
and the schoolbus drove away
Alone in the dark his heart broken in two
Her daddy began to pray:
Dear Jesus, my girl needs her dad around
Not locked in a jail in the outskirts of town
Than we could dance every saturday night
I don't want to let her down
Help me turn my life around
'cause my girl needs her dad
around
