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, 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 (ooh)
And finally make me do just what my mother said
Later that night when I fell asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me.(noo)

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.
