DANCE WITH MY FATHER AGAIN

back when i was a child,
before life removed all the innocent,
my father would lift me high,
and dance with my mother and me and 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,

ooh, ohh

when i and my mother disagree,
to get my way i would run from her to him,
he'd make me laugh just to confront 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 get one final chance, one final walk,
one final dance with him,
I'd play a song that would never ever end,
how i love love love to dance with my father again.

i listened out side her door,
and i head here mama cry for him,
i pray for her even more than me,
i pray for her even more than me,
i know i'm prayin' for much to much,
but could you send back the only man she loved,
i know you don't do it usually, but Lord she's dying,
to dance with my father again,

every night i fall asleep,
and this is all i ever dream.....
