13th May 2014

Intro: Bb F Gm Eb

Bb F Gm F Bb

Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence

Bb Dm Eb F Bb

My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then

Bb Eb

Spin me around 'til I fell asleep

Cm Bb

Then up the stairs he would carry me

Cm F

And I knew for sure I was loved

Bb Dm Gm Eb

If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him

Cm Gm

I'd play a song that would never, ever end

Cm

How I'd love, love, love

F Bb

To dance with my father again

Bb F Gm Eb

Bb F

When I and my mother would disagree

Gm F Bb

To get my way, I would run from her to him

Bb Dm

He'd make me laugh just to comfort me

Eb F Bb

Then finally make me do just what my mama said

Bb Eb

Later that night when I was asleep

Cm Bb

He left a dollar under my sheet

Cm F

Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

Bb Dm Gm Eb

If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him

Cm Gm

I'd play a song that would never, ever end

Cm

'Cause I'd love, love, love

F Bb

To dance with my father again

Eb F

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door

Bb Gm

And I'd hear how my mother cried for him

Eb F

I pray for her even more than me

Eb F

I pray for her even more than me

Bb F Gm Eb

!!!!!Change in key from Bb to C!!!!!

C G

I know I'm praying for much too much

Am F

But could you send back the only man she loved

Dm Am

I know you don't do it usually

Dm

But dear Lord she's dying

G C

To dance with my father again

Dm

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

C G Am F C
