Dance with My Father

　　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 then

　　Spin 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

　　Id 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

　　Hed 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

　　Id play a song that would never, ever end

　　Cause I love, love, love

　　To dance with my father again

　　Sometimes Id listen outside her door

　　And Id hear how my mother cried for him
