Dance With My Father - Luther Vandross
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 til' I 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 one another dance
with him
I'd play a song
that would never never end
How I'd love love love
To dance with my father again
Ooooh
When I and my mother would
disagreed
To get my way I would run
from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to
comfort me
Yeah yeah
Then finally make me do
just what my momma said
Later that night when
I was asleep
He left a dollar under
my sheet
Never dreamed that he
would be gone from me
If I could steal one final
glance
One final step
One final dance with him
I'd play a song that'd never
never end
Cos I'd love love love
to dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen
outside the door
And I'd hear how my momma
of cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me

I know I'm praying for much
too much
But could you send back
The only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
and this is all I ever dream
