Verse 1
[G] [D]
Back when i was a child
[Em7] [Cadd9]
Before life removed all the innocence
[G] [D]
My father would lift me high
[Em7] [Cadd9]
And dance with my mother and me and then
[G] [D]
Spin me around till I fell asleep
[Em7] [Cadd9]
Then up the stairs he would carry me
[Em7] [D]
And I knew for sure I was loved
Chorus
[G] [D]
If I could get another chance
[Em7] [Cadd9]
Another walk, another dance with him
[Cadd9] [Em7]
I'd play a song that would never ever end
[Cadd9] [D]
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
Verse 2
[G] [D]
When I and my mother would disagree
[Em7] [Cadd9]
To get my way I would run from her to him
[G] [D]
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
[Em7] [Cadd9]
Then finally make me do just what my momma said
[G] [D]
Later that night, when I was asleep
[Em7] [Cadd9]
He left a dollar under my sheet
[Em7] [D]
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
Chorus
[G] [D]
If I could steal one final glance
[Em7] [Cadd9]
One final step, one final dance with him
[Cadd9] [Em7]
I'd play a song that would never ever end
[Cadd9] [D]
Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
Verse 3
[G] [D]
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
[Em7] [Cadd9]
I'd hear how my mother cried for him
[Cadd9] [D]
I'd pray for her even more than me
[Cadd9] [D]
I'd pray for her even more than me
[Verse 4]* KEY CHANGE
[B] [F#]
I know I'm praying for much too much
[G#m] [E]
But could you send back the only man she loved
[E] [G#m]
I know you don't do it usually
[E] [F#] [B]
But dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again
[Mini Bridge]
[E]
Every night I fall asleep
[E]
And this is all I ever dream
