C#                  G# 
Back when I was a child
A#m                 F#
before life removed all the innocence
C#                  G#      A#m
My father would lift me high
                   F#
And dance with my mother and me and then,
 C#                        F#
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
D#dim                        C#  
And up the stairs he would carry me
       D#                   G#
And I knew for sure I was loved.

Chorus:
  C#             G# 
If I could get another chance,
 A#m           F#                   D#m
Another walk, another dance with him,
                            A#m
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
         F#                  G#
How I'd love, love, love to dance with
            C#
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, yeah yeah
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

Chorus:
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, love
To dance with my father again

 F#                     G#
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
     C#            A#m
And hear my mama cried for him
F#                   G#
I pray for her even more than me,
D#m                    G#
I pray for her even more than me.

Chorus:
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

Ooh, yeah yeah yeah

I know You don't do it usually
But, dear Lord, she's dying
To dance with my father again
