Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a little dancehall, only seven years tall
I'd wait to watch my daddy play
On holidays from school, thinking I was so cool
To be up, staying out late
With my fears, he drank, I'd sit and I'd sing
Every song, every word
Till mammy would ask me out for a dance
Oh, how in love was my world
[Verse 2]
Lord, once more, give us an encore
To feel the way I felt back then
'Cause I'd give everything for my daddy to sing
So I could waltz with my mother again
[Verse 3]
That was the start of songs in my heart
As sweet harmony filled our home
Given only the best till we flew the nest
To go build a world of our own
Then one Summer day, God called her away
To watch over us from above
Now every night, under the spotlight
I feel the strength of her love
[Verse 4]
Oh Lord, once more, give us an encore
Just like it was way back then
'Cause I'd give everything for my daddy to sing
So I could waltz with my mother again
[Verse 5]
Lord, once more, give us an encore
To feel the way I felt back then
'Cause I'd give everything for my daddy to sing
So I could waltz with my mother again
[Verse 6]
One day, with God's grace, I feel her embrace
And I waltz with my mother again
