[00:16.670]Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
[00:28.710]My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
[00:39.880]Spin me around till I fell asleep
[00:45.850]Then up the stairs he would carry me
[00:50.570]And I knew for sure I was loved
[00:57.80]If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
[01:09.80]I\'d play a song that would never, ever end
[01:14.140]How I’d love, love, love
[01:17.740]To dance with my father again
[01:33.70]When I and my mother would disagree
[01:38.120]To get my way, I would run from her to him
[01:44.850]He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
[01:50.970]Then finally make me do just what my mama said
[01:56.930]Later that night when I was asleep
[02:02.570]He left a dollar under my sheet
[02:07.580]Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[02:13.930]If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
[02:26.130]I’d play a song that would never, ever end
[02:31.170]‘Cause I’d love, love, love
[02:36.700]To dance with my father again
[02:41.750]Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
[02:47.210]And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
[02:53.210]I pray for her even more than me
[02:59.120]I pray for her even more than me
[03:19.200]I know I’m praying for much too much
[03:25.110]But could you send back the only man she loved
[03:31.640]I know you don’t do it usually
[03:36.150]But dear Lord she’s dying To dance with my father agai
[03:48.980]Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
