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 'till 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

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door

And I'd hear how mama would cry for him

I'd pray for her even more than me

I'd pray for her even more than me

I know I'm praying for much to much

But could you send her

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
