_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ Back when I [B] was a _ child, _ [A] _
before life [E] removed [B] all the innocence,
[E] _ My father [B] would lift me high, _ [A] and dance with [E] my mother [B] and me,
[E] And then, spend me around till [A] I fell asleep,
Then [Am] _ up the stairs he [E] would carry me, and [F#] I knew for sure I [B] was loved.
_ [E] If I could get [B] another chance, [C#m] another walk, [A] another dance with [F#m] her,
I'd play a song that [C#m] would never ever end, oh [A] I'd love, love, love,
[B] To dance with my father [E] again. _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] But I and my mother [G#m] would disagree, _ _ [A] to get my way I would [B] run from her to [E] him,
He'd make me laugh just [B] to comfort me, _ [A] then finally make me [B] do just what my mother [G#m] said.
[E] Later that night when [A] I was asleep, _ [Am] he left the dollar [E] under my sheet,
Never [F#] dreamed that he would be [B] gone from me.
[E] If I could steal [B] one final glance, [C#m] one final stare, [A] one final dance with him,
[F#m] I'd play a song that would [C#m] never ever end, oh I'd [A] love, love, love,
[B] To dance with my father [E] again. _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] Sometimes I'd listen [B] outside her door, [E] and I'd hear [B] how my mother [C#m] cried with me,
_ _ [A] I'd pray for her even [B] more than me, [F#m] I'd pray for her even [B] more than me. _ _ _
[F#] I know I'm praying [C#] for much too much, [D#m] but could you send back [B] the only man she loved?
[G#m] I know you don't do it [D#m] usually, but dear [B] Lord she's dying,
[C#] To dance with my father [D#m] again.
_ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#]
Can't [B] you hear her crying, [C#] to dance with my father [F#] again.
