Lyrics:

Back when I was a child

Before life removed all the innocence

My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then

Spin me around ?til I fell asleep

Then up the stairs he would carry me

And I knew for sure I was loved

If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him

I'd play a song that would never ever end

How I'd love, love, love

To dance with my father again



Sometimes I'd listen outside her door

And I'd hear how my mama cried for him

I pray for her even more than me

I pray for her even more than me



I know I'm praying for much too 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
