Dance With My Father

Back when, I was a child
 Before life removed
 All the innocence
 My father, would lift me up
 And dance with
 My mother
 And me and then, uh
 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 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
 Ooooh
 When I my mother
 Would disagree
 To get my way
 I would run
 From, her to him
 He'd make me laugh
 Just to comfort me
 Then finally
 Make me do
 Just what my, mama said
 Later that 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
 One final step
 One final
 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
 Sometimes, I'd listen
 Outside her door
 And I'd here
 How mama
 Would cry for him
 I'd pray for her
 Even more than me
 I'd, pray for her
 Even more than me
 Ooooh, ooh
 Ooh, ooooh
 I know
 I'm praying
 For much, to much
 But could
 You send back
 The only man
 She loved
 I know you don't
 Do it usually
 But dear Lord
 She's dyin
 To dance
 With my father
 Again
 Every night
 I fall asleep
 And this is all
 I ever dream
