Verse 1

There at the table my daughter and I

Just ate the last of my mother's pie

It's the 5th of December and I act like I don't know

Where it is she wants to go

She pushed back a chair and took my hand

Come into the living room and put on my favorite band

Dad it's my birthday don't miss your chance

Ask my to dance

Chorus

So I said dance with me

Dance with me Jen

I'd love to feel you in my arms again

Dance with me

Dance with me Jen

I'd love to feel you in my arms again

Verse 2

Several years later my daughter and I

Can't get along no matter how hard I try

She got herself a boyfriend who lives on down our road

His intentions, I don't know

So on her birthday that same year

I went and put on that music she loved to hear

Said girl it's your birthday don't wanna miss my chance

And asked you to dance

Chorus

So I said dance with me

Dance with me Jen

I'd love to feel you in my arms again

Dance with me

Dance with me Jen

I'd love to feel you in my arms again

Bridge

She turned her head and grabbed her coat

She didn't look back and she slammed the door

Verse 3

Took a bus down to Texas with that boy down the road

Had no idea that he'd leave her there alone

She was drinking her freedom and weather in the cold

Too stuborn to come back home

She finally got a job at a night time club

She was dancing on tables for men she didn't love

She thought if my daddy could see me now

He'd never take me back no way, no how

And how she longed to hear him say

Chorus

Dance with me

Dance with me Jen

I'd love to feel you in my arms again

Dance with me

Dance with me Jen

I'd love to feel you in my arms again

Verse 4

Found out from her boyfriend who lived down the road

He left her in Texas and he moved back home

He had her address and I drove all night long

Just to fine that she was gone

It was 10 in the morning when I found out what she did

Left a note at the club, got in my car and drove home again

When she read it she cried alone

Hoped a bus and headed home

It was that note it read

Chorus

Dance with me

Dance with me Jen

I'd love to feel you in my arms again

Dance with me

Dance with me Jen

I'd love to feel you in my arms again
