INTRO: C-G-Am-F
I.
C G
Back when I was a child
Am F
before life removed all the innocence
C G Am
my father would lift me high
F
and dance with my mother and me and then,
C Am
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
C Am
and up the stairs he would carry me
F G
and I knew for sure I was loved.
Chorus 1:
C G
If I could get another chance,
Am F Am
another walk, another dance with him,
C
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
F G C
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
C-G-F-Am-F
II.
C G
When I and my mother would disagree,
Am F
to get my way I would run from her to him
C G
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Am F
and finally make me do just what my mama said
C Am
later that night when I was asleep,
C Am
he left a dollar under my sheet
F G
never dreamed that he would be gone from me.
Chorus 2:
C G
If I could steal one final glance,
Am F
one final step, one final dance with him
Am C
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
F G C
'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
F Gm
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
Am C
and hear my mama how cried for him
F Gm
I pray for her even more than me,
F Gm
I pray for her even more than me.
C G
I know I prayed, for much too much
Am F
but could you send back the only man she loved,
Dm Am Dm
I know you don't do it usually, but dear lord she's dying
G C G
to dance with my father again.
Finale:
Dm G
Every night I fall asleep this is all I ever dreamed
C-G-Am-F-G-C
