[Verse 1]
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 ’til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs, he would carry me
And I knew for sure, I was loved

[Chorus]
If I 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

[Verse 2]
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

[Chorus]
If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again

[Bridge]
Sometimes, I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
I’d pray for her even more than me
I’d pray for her even more than me

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Every night I fall asleep
This is all I ever dream
