[Verse 1]
C G
Back when I was a child
Am F
Before life removed all the innocence
C G
My father would lift me high
Am F
And dance with my mother and me and then
C Am
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Dm Am
Then up the stairs he would carry me
Dm
And I knew for sure
G
I was loved
[Chorus]
C G
If I could get another chance
Am F
Another walk, another dance with him
Dm Am
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
F G C
How I'd love my mother to dance with my father again
[Instrumental]
C G Am F
[Verse 2]
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, yeah, yeah
Am F
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
C Am
Later that night when I was asleep
Dm Am
He left a dollar under my sheet
Dm
Never dreamed that he
G
Would be gone from me
[Chorus]
C G
If I could steal one final glance
Am F
One final step, one final dance with him
Dm Am
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
F G
cause i'd love my mother to dance with my father
C
again
[Verse 3]
Dm G
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
C Am
And I'd hear my mama cryin' for him
Dm G
I pray for her even more than me
F G
I pray for her even more than me
D A
I know I'm prayin' for much too much

But could You send back the only man she loved
