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(ooohh) Then finally make me do just what my momma said Later that night, when I fell 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
