[Intro]

F C Dm Gb


[Verse 1]

F                     C  Dm                       C         F
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
F                       Am     Gb                       C         F
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
F                       Gb
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
F                                
Then up the stairs he would carry me
F                      
And I knew for sure I was loved
F               Am             Dm           Gb
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
F                       Dm
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
F
How I'd love, love, love
C                       F
To dance with my father again 


[Instrumental]

F C Dm Gb


[Verse 2]

F                               C
When I and my mother would disagree
Dm                      C              F
To get my way, I would run from her to him
F                        Am
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Gb                                   C        F
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
F                      Gb
Later that night when I was asleep
F                
He left a dollar under my sheet
F                               C
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
F                Am               Dm             Gb
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
F                       Dm
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
F
'Cause I'd love, love, love
C                       F
To dance with my father again
Gb                       C
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
F                         Dm
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
Gb                       C
I pray for her even more than me
Gb                       C
I pray for her even more than me


[Instrumental]

F C Dm Gb

[Verse 3]

F                               D
I know I'm praying for much too much
Em                          C
But could you send back the only man she loved
Am                     Em
I know you don't do it usually
Am
But dear Lord she's dying
D                       F
To dance with my father again
Am
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
