Verse 1
[D] [A/C#] [G] [A]
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
[D] [A/C#] [G] [A]
My father would lift me high, And dance with my mother and me and then
[D/F#] [G] [Gm/Bb] [D/A]
Spin me around till I fell asleep, Then up the stairs he would carry me,
[E/G#] [Asus4] [A]
and I knew for sure I was loved
Chorus
[D] [A/C#] [Bm] [G]
If I could get, another chance, another walk, another dance with him
[Em] [Bm] [G]
I'd play a song that would never, ever end. How I'd love, love love, to
[Asus4] [A] [D] ...
dance with my father again.
[D] [A/C#] [Bm] [Gmaj9]
Verse 2
[D] [A/C#] [G] [A]
When I and my mother would disagree, to get my way I'd run from her to him
[D] [A/C#] [G]
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah yeah, and finally make me do
[Asus4] [A]
just what my mama said
[D/F#] [G] [Gm/Bb] [D/A]
Later that night when I was asleep, he left a dollar under my sheet
[E/G#] [Em] [Asus4] [A]
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
Chorus
[D] [A]
If I could steal one final glance
[Bm] [G]
One final step, one final dance with him
[Em] [Bm]
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
[G] [D]
cause I'd love my mother to dance with my father again
Bridge
[G] [A] [D] [A/C#]
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door, and I'd hear how my mother
[Bm]
cried for him.
[G] [Asus4] [A] [Em7] [Asus4]
I'd pray for her even more than me, I'd pray for her even more than me
[A] [Asus2] [D] [A/C#] [Bm9] [Gmaj7]
[Chorus] (key change)
[E] [B]
I know I'm prayin' for much too much
[C#m] [A]
But could You send back the only man she loved
[F#m] [C#m]
I know You don't do it usually
[A] [E]
But Lord, she's dyin' to dance with my father again

And this is all I ever dream
