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 til` 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 on-e, another dance with him,
I`d play a song that would never never end
How I`d love love love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother disagreed
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 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 I could steal on-e final glance
nulle final step
nulle final dance with him
I`d play a song that`d never never end
Cos I`d love love love, to dance with my father again
Sometimes I`d listen outside the door
And I`d hear how my momma cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I`m praying for much too much
But could you send back
The on-ly 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 dream
