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
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 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
