Dance With My Father (Luther Version) Lyrics

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 'till I fell asleep
And up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure, I was loved

If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song the would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love, to dance with my father, again

Oooooh

When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Yeah yeah, then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I fell asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he, would be gone from me

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

Sometimes I�d listen outside her door
And I�d hear how mama would cry for him
I prayed for her even more than me
I prayed for her even more than me

I know I�m praying for much too much
But could you send 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

Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
