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 one, another dance with him,
Id play a song that would never never end
How Id love love love...
To dance with my father again.

Ooooh...

When I and my mother disagreed,
To get my way I would run from her to him.
Hed make me laugh just to comfort me,
Yeah yeah...
Then finally make me do just what my momma said.

Later that night when I was asleep,
He left a dollar under my sheet.
Never dreamed that he, would be gone from me.

Repeat Chorus
If I could steal one final glance,
One final step,
One final dance with him,
Id play a song thatd never never end.
Cos Id love love love, to dance with my father again.

Sometimes Id listen outside the door
And Id hear how my momma cried for him
I pray for her even more than me...
I pray for her even more than me.....

I know Im praying for much too much,
But could you send back,
The only man she loved.
I know you dont do it usually,
But dear Lord shes dying,
To dance with my father again.

Every night I fall asleep and this is all
I ever dream...
