| Back when I was a chil | d, | before life removed all the | innocence |
| Bb | Dm | Eb | F | Bb | |
| My father would lift me | high and | dance with my mother and | me and then |
| Bb | Eb | |
| Spin me around 'til I fe | ll asleep |
| Cm | Bb | |
| Then up the stairs he would carry | me |
| Cm | F | |
| And I knew for sure I was | loved |
| Bb | Dm | Gm | Eb | |
| If I could get a | nother chance, a | nother walk, a | nother dance with him |
| Cm | Gm | |
| I'd play a song that wou | ld never, ever end |
| Cm | |
| How I'd love, love, love |
| F | Bb | |
| To dance with my father | again |
| Bb | F | Gm | Eb |
| Bb | F | |
| When I and my mother would disag | ree |
| Gm | F | Bb | |
| To get my way, I would r | un from her to h | im |
| Bb | Dm | |
| He'd make me laugh just to | comfort me |
| Eb | F | Bb | |
| Then finally make me do just what my | mama said |
| Bb | Eb | |
| Later that night when I | was asleep |
| Cm | Bb | |
| He left a dollar u | nder my sheet |
| Cm | F | |
| Never dreamed that he would be g | one from me |
| Bb | Dm | Gm | Eb | |
| If I could steal | one final glance, | one final step, | one final dance with him |
| Cm | Gm | |
| I'd play a song that wou | ld never, ever end |
| Cm | |
| 'Cause I'd love, love, love |
| F | Bb | |
| To dance with my father | again |
| Eb | F | |
| Sometimes I'd listen outs | ide her door |
| Bb | Gm | |
| And I'd hear how my mother | cried for him |
| Eb | F | |
| I pray for her even more | than me |
| Eb | F | |
| I pray for her even more | than me |
| Bb | F | Gm | Eb |
| !!!!!Change in key from Bb to C!!!!! |
| C | G | |
| I know I'm praying for much too | much |
| Am | F | |
| But could you send back the | only man she loved |
| Dm | Am | |
| I know you don't do it | usually |
| Dm | |
| But dear Lord she's dying |
| G | C | |
| To dance with my father | again |
| Dm | |
| Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream |
| C | G | Am | F | C |
