Dance With My Father Lyrics - Singles - Steve Brookstein

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 

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 

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 

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 

How I'd love, love, love 

To dance with my father again 

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door 

I'd hear how my mother cried for him 

I pray for her even more than me 

I pray for her even more than me 

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 

Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
