[ti:Dance With My Father]
[ar:joe mcelderry]
[00:16.25]back  when  i  was  a  child,before  life  removed  all  the  innocence
[00:29.92]my  father  would  lift  me  high  and  dance  with  my  mother  and  me  and  then
[00:41.19]spin  me  around 'til  i  fell  asleep
[00:47.11]then  up  the  stairs  he  would  carry  me
[00:51.73]and  i  knew  for  sure  i  was  loved
[00:59.33]if  i  could  get  another  chance,another  walk,another  dance  with  him
[01:12.17]i'd  play  a  song  that  would  never,ever  end
[01:17.66]how  i'd  love,love,love
[01:20.29]to  dance  with  my  father  again
[01:35.55]when  i  and  my  mother  would  disagree
[01:42.04]to  get  my  way,i  would  run  from  her  to  him
[01:48.17]he'd  make  me  laugh  just  to  comfort  me
[01:53.99]then  finally  make  me  do  just  what  my  mama  said
[02:00.00]later  that  night  when  i  was  asleep
[02:06.50]he  left  a  dollar  under  my  sheet
[02:10.39]never  dreamed  that  he  would  be  gone  from  me
[02:18.38]if  i  could  steal  one  final  glance,one  final  step,one  final  dance  with  him
[02:30.15]i'd  play  a  song  that  would  never,ever  end
[02:34.57]'cause  i'd  love,love,love
[02:38.78]to  dance  with  my  father  again
[02:45.17]sometimes  i'd  listen  outside  her  door
[02:49.22]and  i'd  hear  how  my  mother  cried  for  him
[02:57.02]i  pray  for  her  even  more  than  me
[03:03.30]i  pray  for  her  even  more  than  me
[03:08.70]i  know  i'm  praying  for  much  too  much
[03:17.86]but  could  you  send  back  the  only  man  she  loved
[03:24.26]i  know  you  don't  do  it  usually
[03:28.74]but  dear  lord  she's  dying
[03:31.61]to  dance  with  my  father  again
[03:39.43]every  night  i  fall  asleep  and  this  is  all  i  ever  dream
[03:57.42]i  know  you  don't  do  it  usually
[04:01.85]but  dear  lord  she's  dying
[04:05.80]to  dance  with  my  father  again
