[ar:Luther Vandross] |

back when i was a child,before life removed all the innocence |
| [00:27.853] |
my father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then |
| [00:39.74] |
spin me around 'til i fell asleep |
| [00:44.950] |
then up the stairs he would carry me |
| [00:49.421] |
and i knew for sure i was loved |
| [00:56.359] |
if i could get another chance,another walk,another dance with him |
| [01:08.684] |
i'd play a song that would never,ever end |
| [01:13.183] |
how i'd love,love,love |
| [01:16.843] |
to dance with my father again |
| [01:31.708] |
when i and my mother would disagree |
| [01:37.589] |
to get my way,i would run from her to him |
| [01:44.283] |
he'd make me laugh just to comfort me |
| [01:50.168] |
then finally make me do just what my mama said |
| [01:56.83] |
later that night when i was asleep |
| [02:02.03] |
he left a dollar under my sheet |
| [02:06.527] |
never dreamed that he would be gone from me |
| [02:13.669] |
if i could steal one final glance,one final step,one final dance with him |
| [02:25.692] |
i'd play a song that would never,ever end |
| [02:30.132] |
'cause i'd love,love,love |
| [02:34.394] |
to dance with my father again |
| [02:40.695] |
sometimes i'd listen outside her door |
| [02:46.452] |
and i'd hear how my mother cried for him |
| [02:52.365] |
i pray for her even more than me |
| [02:58.327] |
i pray for her even more than me |
| [03:18.544] |
i know i'm praying for much too much |
| [03:24.236] |
but could you send back the only man she loved |
| [03:30.886] |
i know you don't do it usually |
| [03:35.361] |
but dear lord she's dying |
| [03:39.408] |
to dance with my father again |
| [03:48.372] |
every night i fall asleep and this is all i ever dream |
