Dance With My Father Chords
c g
Back when I was a child
am f
Before life removed all the innocence
c g
My father would lift me high
am f
And dance with my mother and me and then
c g
Spin me around till I fell asleep
am f
Then up the stairs he would carry me
c
And I knew for sure
g
I was loved
c g
If I could get another chance
am f
Another walk, another dance with him
dm am
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
f c
How I'd love my mother to dance with my father again
c g
When I and my mother would disagree
am f
To get my way I would run from her to him
c g
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
am f
Then finally make me do just what my mama said

c g
Later that night when I was asleep
am f
He left a dollar under my sheet
c
Never dreamed that he
g
Would be gone from me
c g
If I could steal one final glance
am f
One final step, one final dance with him
dm am
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
f
cause i'd love my mother to dance with my father
c
again
dm g
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
c am
And I'd hear my mama cryin' for him
f g
I pray for her even more than me
f g
I pray for her even more than me
c g
I know I'm prayin' 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
But Lord, she's dyin' to dance with my father again
dm
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
