Intro
F#-C#-D#m-B
I.
F# C#
Back when I was a child
D#m B
before life removed all the innocence
F# C# D#m
my father would lift me high
B
and dance with my mother and me and then,
F# D#m
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
G#m D#m
then up the stairs he would carry me
B C#
and I knew for sure I was loved
Chorus 1:
F# C#
If I could get another chance,
D#m B G#m
another walk, another dance with him,
D#m
I'd play a song that would never, never end
B C# F#
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
C#-D#m-B
II.
F# C#
When I and my mother would disagree,
D#m B
to get my way I would run from her to him
F# C#
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah yeah
D#m B
and finally make me do just what my mama said
F# D#m
later that night when I was asleep,
G#m D#m
he left a dollar under my sheet
B C#
never dreamed that he would be gone from me.
Chorus 2:
F# C#
If I could steal one final glance,
D#m B
one final step, one final dance with him
G#m D#m
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
B C# F#
'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
Bridge:
B C#
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
F# C# D#m C#-B
and I hear my mother cried for him
C#
I pray for her even more than me,
B C#
I pray for her even more than me.
F#-C#-D#m-B
Chorus 3:
G# D#
I know I'm praying, for much too much
Fm C#
but could you send back the only man she loved,
A#m Fm C#
I know you don't do it usually, but dear Lord she's dying
D# G# D#
to dance with my father again.
C# D# G#
Every night I fall asleep this is all I ever dreamed
D#-Fm-C#-G#
