[00:16.50]Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
[00:28.49]My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
[00:39.57]Spin me around ''''til I fell asleep
[00:45.35]Then up the stairs he would carry me
[00:50.03]And I knew for sure I was loved
[00:56.79]If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
[01:08.75]I''''d play a song that would never, ever end
[01:13.64]How I''''d love, love, love
[01:17.51]To dance with my father again
[01:32.57]When I and my mother would disagree
[01:38.38]To get my way, I would run from her to him
[01:44.40]He''''d make me laugh just to comfort me
[01:50.33]Then finally make me do just what my mama said
[01:56.18]Later that night when I was asleep
[02:02.10]He left a dollar under my sheet
[02:06.73]Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[02:13.30]If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
[02:25.52]I''''d play a song that would never, ever end
[02:30.08]''''Cause I''''d love, love, love
[02:34.03]To dance with my father again
[02:40.77]Sometimes I''''d listen outside her door
[02:46.01]And I''''d hear how my mother cried for him
[02:52.19]I pray for her even more than me
[02:57.94]I pray for her even more than me
[03:18.29]I know I''''m praying for much too much
[03:23.73]But could you send back the only man she loved
[03:30.37]I know you don''''t do it usually
[03:34.97]But dear Lord she''''s dying
[03:39.07]To dance with my father again
[03:48.17]Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
