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
