Back when I was a child

Before life removed all the innocence¹

My father would lift me high

And dance with my mother and me then

Spin² 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

 

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

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 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 so much too much

But could you send back the only man she loved

I know u 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 dream
