| [00:15.960] |
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence |
| [00:28.070] |
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then |
| [00:38.990] |
Spin me around till I fell asleep |
| [00:45.070] |
Then up the stairs he would carry me |
| [00:49.520] |
And I knew for sure I was loved |
| [00:59.330] |
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him |
| [01:11.800] |
I\'d play a song that would never, ever end |
| [01:15.630] |
How I’d love, love, love |
| [01:19.520] |
To dance with my father again |
| [01:34.570] |
When I and my mother would disagree |
| [01:40.850] |
To get my way, I would run from her to him |
| [01:46.790] |
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me |
| [01:52.710] |
Then finally make me do just what my mama said |
| [01:58.700] |
Later that night when I was asleep |
| [02:04.540] |
He left a dollar under my sheet |
| [02:08.940] |
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me |
| [02:15.820] |
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him |
| [02:28.280] |
I’d play a song that would never, ever end |
| [02:32.830] |
‘Cause I’d love, love, love |
| [02:36.700] |
To dance with my father again |
| [02:43.040] |
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door |
| [02:48.930] |
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him |
| [02:55.730] |
I pray for her even more than me |
| [03:01.870] |
I pray for her even more than me |
| [03:25.090] |
I know I’m praying for much too much |
| [03:30.930] |
But could you send back the only man she loved |
| [03:37.250] |
I know you don’t do it usually |
| [03:41.630] |
But dear Lord she’s dying |
| [03:45.820] |
To dance with my father again |
| [03:51.610] |
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream |
| [04:09.390] |
I know you don\'t do it usually |
| [04:13.630] |
But dear lord she\'s dying |
| [04:18.030] |
To dance with my father again |
