If I Could Dance With My Father Again Back when I was a child Before life removed all the innocenceMy father would lift me high And dance with my mother and me and thenSpin 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'd love, love, love, to dance with my father, again Oooooh 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 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'd love, love, love, to dance with my father, again Sometimes I’d listen outside her doorAnd I’d hear how my mother would cry for himI prayed for her even more than meI prayed for her even more than meI know I’m praying for much too muchBut could you send back the only man she lovedI know you don’t do it usuallyBut dear Lord she’s dying to dance with my father againEvery night I fall asleep And this is all I ever dream
