Chords
[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
**Change in key from Bb to C!
[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
[Outro]
F D Em C F
