Father-Daughter Dance (feat. Matt Hammitt) |
The father-daughter 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’s locked in a jail on 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 sheriff |
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’s locked in your jail on 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 a Saturday night |
He spun 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 on the outskirts of town |
Then 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 |
