Song lyrics

Send "Dance With My Father" ringtones to your cell

Verse 1:
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

Chorus: 
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

Verse 2:
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(yeah, yeah)
Then finally make me do just what my momma said
Later that night, when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

Chorus:
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
Cause I'd love love love to dance with my father again

Verse 3:
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
I'd hear how my mother cried for him
(x2) I'd 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

7 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I first heard this song at a close uncles funeral and it fitted perfectly because his favorite thing to do was dance and it bought a tear to the crowded funeral home. I love it i really do its the sadest song since 'christmas shoes' by Newsong.

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal My Daddy died when I was 18, about 3 weeks after I graduated high school. His last words to me were as we parted in the church parking lot after the morning service: "I love you! I'll see you later!" We were about as close as any father and daughter could possibly get. I can relate a lot with this song. He used to carry me to bed a lot. And whenever mom told me no on something, he would always try to make me feel better and then make me do what she said anyways Thank you, Mr. Vandross...this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and you will be missed, sir.
