Back when I was a child
D# D#/F F
Before life removed all the innocence
Bb F
My father would lift me high
D# D#/F F
And dance with my mother and me and then
Bb D#
Spin me around till I fell asleep
D#m Bb
Then up the stairs he would car-ry me
C/E
And I knew for sure
Fsus F
I was loved
Bb F
If I could get another chance
Gm D#
Another walk, another dance with him

I’d play a song that would never, ever end
D# Fsus F Bb
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again

Bb F
When I and my mother would disagree
D# D#/F F
To get my way I would run from her to him
Bb F
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
D# D#/F F
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Bb/D D#
Later that night when I was asleep
Bb
He'd left a dollar under my sheet
C/E
Never dreamed that he
Fsus F
Would be gone from me
Bb F
If I could steal one final glance
Gm D#
One final walk, one final dance with him
Cm Gm
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
D# Fsus F Bb
Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again
D# F
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
Bb F Gm
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
D# Fsus F
I pray for her even more than me
Cm7 Fsus F
I pray for her even more than me
