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 ^.^
