[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 'til 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
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He'd makes me laugh just to comfort me, yeah
Then finally makes me do just what my mama 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

[Bridge]
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
I'd hear how mama cry for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me, yeah

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
'Cause every night I fall asleep
This is all I ever dream
