Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
[Verse 3]
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
Yeah
[Verse 4]
Now when I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
[Verse 5]
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[Verse 6]
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 love, love, love to dance with my father again
[Verse 7]
Oh, sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And hear how my mama, how she would cry for him, oh
I'd pray for her even more than me
I'd pray for her even more than me, oh
[Verse 8]
I know I'm prayin' for much too much
But could you send back the only man she's loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord, she's dyin'
To dance with my father again
Written by: Luther Vandross, Richard Marx
