Intro

I.

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

Chorus 1

If I could get another chance,

 another walk, another dance with him,

 I'd play a song that would never, never end

 How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again

II.

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

and 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.

Chorus 2

 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

Bridge

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door

and I hear my mother cried for him

 I pray for her even more than me,

I pray for her even more than me.

Chorus 3

 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 this is all I ever dreamed

I learned this by ear and i think it's just perfect just maybe a little hard for beginners ^.^
