Dance With My Father Luther Vandross
Back when I was [C]a child[G]
[Am]Before life re[F]moved all the innocence
[C]My father would [G]lift me high
[Am]And dance with my [F]mother and me and then
[C]Spin me around till I [G]fell asleep
[Am]Then up the stairs he would [F]carry me
And I [C]knew for sure
[G]I was loved
[C]If I could get [G]another chance
[Am]Another walk, [F]another dance with him
[Dm]I'd play a song that would [Am]never, ever end
How I'd [F]love my mother to dance with my father a[C]gain
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[C]When I and my mother would [G]disagree
[Am]To get my way I would [F]run from her to him
[C]He'd make me laugh just to [G]comfort me, yeah, yeah
[Am]Then finally make me do just [F]what my mama said
[C]Later that night when I [G]was asleep
[Am]He left a dollar un[F]der my sheet
Never [C]dreamed that he
Would be [G]gone from me
[C]If I could steal [G]one final glance
[Am]One final step, [F]one final dance with him
[Dm]I'd play a song that would [Am]never, ever end
cause i'd [F]love my mother to dance with my father
a[C]gain
[Dm]Sometimes I'd listen out[G]side her door
[C]And I'd hear my mama [Am]cryin' for him
[F]I pray for her even [G]more than me
[F]I pray for her even [G]more than me
[C]I know I'm prayin' for [G]much too much
[Am]But could You send back [F]the only man she loved
[Dm]I know You don't do it [Am]usually
But [F]Lord, she's dyin' to dance with my father a[C]gain
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
Every [C]night I fall asleep
And [G]this is all I ever [Am]dream
Every [C]night I fall asleep
And [G]this is all I ever [Am]dream
