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 
When I and my mother would disagree 
To get my way, I would run from her to him 
He?d make me laugh just to comfort me 
Then finally make me do just what my mama said 
Later that night when I was asleep 
He left a dollar under my sheet 
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me 
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him 
I?d play a song that would never, ever end 
?Cause I?d love, love, love 
To dance with my father again 
Sometimes I?d listen outside her door 
And I?d hear how my mother 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
