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.
