D                  A      Bm            G  
Back when I was a child before life removed all the innocense  
D               A             Bm               G  
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then  
D                       Bm             Em                           Bm  
Spin me around till I fell fell asleep then up the stairs he would carry me  
Em                           A  
And I knew for sure I was loved  
  
  
  D             A                 Bm            G  
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him  
Em                              Bm  
I'd play a song that would never ever end  
Em                           G                     D  
How I'd love love love to dance with my father again  
  
  
When I and my mother would dissagree  
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'd 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 prayed for her even more than me,I prayed for her even more than me 

I know I'm praying for much to 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 and this is all I ever dream.
