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 till I fell a sleep 
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 
Ooh,  ooh 
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 her, mama cryin’ for him 
I pray for her even more than me 
I  pray for her even more than me 
I know I’m prayin’ for much too much  
But could You send back the only man she loved 
I know You don’t  do it usually 
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again 
Every  night I fall asleep 
And this is all I ever dream
**Best part  I love from this song :)
