[00:15.659]Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
[00:28.990]My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
[00:38.689]Spin me around till I fell asleep
[00:45.399]Then up the stairs he would carry me
[00:49.219]And I knew for sure I was loved
[00:59.299]If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
[01:12.390]I'd play a song that would never, ever end
[01:15.329]How I’d love, love, love
[01:19.219]To dance with my father again
[01:34.270]When I and my mother would disagree
[01:40.549]To get my way, I would run from her to him
[01:47.290]He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
[01:53.300]Then finally make me do just what my mama said
[01:58.400]Later that night when I was asleep
[02:04.239]He left a dollar under my sheet
[02:08.638]Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[02:15.518]If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
[02:27.979]I’d play a song that would never, ever end
[02:32.528]‘Cause I’d love, love, love
[02:36.398]To dance with my father again
[02:43.100]Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
[02:48.629]And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
[02:55.680]I pray for her even more than me
[03:01.570]I pray for her even more than me
[03:25.600]I know I’m praying for much too much
[03:30.629]But could you send back the only man she loved
[03:36.949]I know you don’t do it usually
[03:41.328]But dear Lord she’s dying
[03:45.518]To dance with my father again
[03:51.309]Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
[04:10.699]I know you don't do it usually
[04:13.328]But dear lord she's dying
[04:17.989]To dance with my father again
