My Love - Ultimate essential collection

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
 Spend me around till I fell asleep
 Then 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 that would never ever end
 How I'd love love love to dance with my father again


 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
 Then finally make me do just what my mama said
 Later that night, when I was 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
 I'd hear how my mother cried for him
 I'd pray for her even more than me
 I'd pray for her even more than me


 I know I'm praying for much too much
 But could you send back 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


I know you don't do it usually
 But dear Lord she' s dying to dance with my father again
