[Intro]
C G/B Am F
C G/B
Back when I was a child
Am F
before life removed all the innocence
C G/B Am
My father would lift me high
F
And dance with my mother and me and then,
C/E F
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Ddim C/G
And up the stairs he would carry me
D/F# G
And I knew for sure I was loved.
[Chorus]
C G/B
If I could get another chance,
Am F Dm
Another walk, another dance with him,
Am
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
F G C
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
[Interlude]
C G/B Am F
C G/B
When I and my mother would disagree,
Am F
To get my way I would run from her to him
C G/B Am
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
F
And finally make me do just what my mama said
C/E F
Later that night when I was asleep,
Ddim C/G
He left a dollar under my sheet
D/F# G
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me.
[Chorus]
C G/B
If I could get one final glance,
Am F Dm
One final step, one final dance with him
Am
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
F G C
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
[Bridge]
F G
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
C Am
And hear my mama cried for him
F G
I pray for her even more than me,
Dm G
I pray for her even more than me.
[Interlude]
C G/B Am F
D A/C#
I know I prayed, for much too much
Bm G
But could you send back the only man she loved,
Em Bm G
I know you don't do it usually, but dear lord she's dying
A Bm
to dance with my father again.
Bb13b5
Every night I fall asleep this is all I ever dreamed
[Outro]
D A/C# Bm G
Em Bm G
I know you don't do it usually, but dear lord she's dying
A D
To dance with my father again.
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 will 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 says
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 will never, never end
'Cause I'd love, I'd love to dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mama 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
