BbFGmFBb
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
BbDmEbFBb
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
BbEb
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
CmBb
Then up the stairs he would carry me
CmF
And I knew for sure I was loved
BbDmGmEb
If I could get another chance, another walk, another
dance with him
CmGm
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
Cm
How I'd love, love, love
FBb
To dance with my father again
BbFGmEbBbF
When I and my mother would disagree
GmFBb
To get my way, I would run from her to him
BbDm
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
EbFBb
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
BbEb
Later that night when I was asleep
CmBb
He left a dollar under my sheet
CmF
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
BbDmGmEb
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one
final dance with him
CmGm
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
Cm
'Cause I'd love, love, love
FBb
To dance with my father again
EbF
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
BbGm
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
EbF
I pray for her even more than me
EbF
I pray for her even more than me
BbFGmEbCG
I know I'm praying for much too much
AmF
But could you send back the only man she loved
DmAm
I know you don't do it usually
Dm
But dear Lord she's dying
GC
To dance with my father again
Dm
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
