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
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 hear how my Mother cried for him
I'd pray for her even more than  me
I'd pray for her even more than me


I know I'm praying for too much
But ~ Could you send back the only man she loved?
I know you don't 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.
