Back when i was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother me then
Spin me around till 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 love love love
To dance with my father again
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
Then finally make me do just what my mama 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 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 so much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know u don't do it usually
But dear lord she's dying
To dance with my father again
Every night i fall asleep this is all i ever dream
