Dance with My Father |
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 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, ooh |
When I and my mother would disagree |
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 one final glance, one final step |
One final dance with him |
I’d play a song that would never ever end |
'Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again |
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door |
And I’d hear how my mother 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 only 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 |
