[00:15.89]Back when i was a child
[00:22.25]Before life removed all the innocence
[00:28.16]My father would lift me high
[00:34.05]And dance with my mother me then
[00:38.27]Spin me around till i fell asleep
[00:45.17]Then up the stairs he would carry me
[00:49.56]And i knew for sure i was loved
[00:56.41]If i could get another chance
[01:02.31]Another walk
[01:05.12]Another dance with him
[01:08.80]I'd play a song that would never ever end
[01:13.37]How i love love love
[01:17.28]To dance with my father again
[01:32.11]When i and my mother would disagree
[01:38.43]To get my way i would run from her to him
[01:44.30]He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
[01:48.94]
[01:50.31]Then finally make me do just what my mama said
[01:56.22]Later that night when i was asleep
[02:02.21]He left a dollar under my sheet
[02:06.68]Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[02:13.40]If i could steal one final glance
[02:19.15]One final step
[02:22.11]One final dance with him
[02:25.76]I'd play a song that would never ever end
[02:30.15]'Cause i love love love
[02:34.30]To dance with my father again
[02:40.66]Sometimes i'd listen outside her door
[02:46.49]And i'd hear how my mother cried for him
[02:52.62]I pray for her even more than me
[02:58.55]I pray for her even more than me
[03:18.67]I know i'm praying so much too much
[03:24.26]But could you send back the only man she loved
[03:30.94]I know u don't do it usually
[03:35.27]But dear lord she's dying
[03:39.39]To dance with my father again
[03:48.50]Every night i fall asleep this is all i ever dream
