[Verse 1]
G D
Back when i was a child
Em7 Cadd9
Before life removed all the innocence
G D
My father would lift me high
Em7 Cadd9
And dance with my mother and me and then
G D
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Em7 Cadd9
Then up the stairs he would carry me
Em7 D
And I knew for sure I was loved
[Chorus]
G D
If I could get another chance
Em7 Cadd9
Another walk, another dance with him
Cadd9 Em7
I'd play a song that would never ever end
Cadd9 D
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
[Verse 2]
G D
When I and my mother would disagree
Em7 Cadd9
To get my way I would run from her to him
G D
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Em7 Cadd9
Then finally make me do just what my momma said
G D
Later that night, when I was asleep
Em7 Cadd9
He left a dollar under my sheet
Em7 D
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[Chorus]
G D
If I could steal one final glance
Em7 Cadd9
One final step, one final dance with him
Cadd9 Em7
I'd play a song that would never ever end
Cadd9 D
Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
[Verse 3]
G D
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
Em7 Cadd9
I'd hear how my mother cried for him
Cadd9 D
I'd pray for her even more than me
Cadd9 D
I'd pray for her even more than me
[Verse 4]* KEY CHANGE
B F#
I know I'm praying for much too much
G#m E
But could you send back the only man she loved
E G#m
I know you don't do it usually
E F# B
But dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again
[Mini Bridge]
E
Every night I fall asleep
E
And this is all I ever dream
[Outro]
