Lyrics
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 till I fell asleep, then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If 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 mama and I would disagree to get my way I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me then make me do exactly what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep, he slipped a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door and I'd hear how my mama cried for him
And I'd pray for her even more than me
I'd 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 alseep and this is all I ever dream
