Dance with My Father

back when i was a child, before life remove all the innocence
my father would lift me high
and dance with my mother and me again
spin me around and till i fell asleep
then up the stairs he would carry me and i know for sure
i was love...
(CHO:)
If i could get another chance another walk another dance with him
i played a song that would never ever end
how i'd love love love to dance with my father again...

and i and my mother would disagree
to get my way i would run from her to him
he'd make me laugh to comfort me
then finally make me do just what my mama said
later that night when i was asleep
he left a dollar under my shed
never dream that he would be gone from me...
(CHO:)
if i could steal one final glance one final step one final dance with him
i'd play a song that would never ever end coz i'd love love love to dance with my father again...

sometimes i'd listen outside my door and i heard my mama how cried for him
and i'd pray for her than more than me... heeeeaaahhh...

and now i'm praying for much to much that you could send back the only man she loved
i know you don't do it if you usually
but i know she's dying to dance with my father again...

every night i fall asleep this is all i ever dream...
