Dance With My Father Chords by Luther Vandross

[Bb] .
[Gm] .
[Eb] .
.
[C] That [Bb] .
when I was [F] a child, [Eb] .
before life removed [F] all the anus, [Bb] .
my father [F] would lift me up [Eb] .
and.
[Eb] dance with [Cm] my mother [F] and me.
And [Bb].
then spin me around till [Eb] I fell asleep, [Ebm] .
then up the stairs he [Bb] would carry me, and.
I [C].
knew for sure I [F] was loved.
[Bb] If I could get [Am] .
another [F] chance, [Gm] .
another walk, [Eb] .
another dance with [Cm] him, I'd dance all night.
but [Gm] .
never ever, how [Eb] I'd love, love, love [F] to dance with my father [Bb] .
again.
[F] .
[Gm] .
[Eb] .
[Bb].
When I and my mother would [F] .
disagree, [Eb] .
to get my [Bb] way I would [Eb].
run [F] from [Bb] her to him.
He'd make me laugh [F] just to comfort me, yeah, [Eb] yeah.
Then [Bb] finally make [F] me do just what my mama [Bb] said.
Later that night when I [Eb].
was asleep, [Ebm] .
he left the dollar [Bb] under my sheet.
Never [C].
dreamed that he would be [Cm].
gone from [F] me.
[Bb] If I could steal [F] one final glance, [Gm] one final step, [Eb] one final dance with [Cm] him, I'd play a.
song that [Gm] would never ever end, cause I'd [Eb].
love, love, love [F] to dance with my father [Bb].
again.
[Eb] .
Sometimes I'd listen [F].
outside her door, [Bb].
and I'd hear how my [F] mother [Gm].
cried for him.
[Eb] .
I'd pray for her even [F].
more than me.
[Cm] .
I'd pray for her even [F].
more than me.
.
[Bb] .
[F] .
[G] .
[Gm] [Eb] .
[C] I know I'm praying [G] for much too much, [Am] but could you send back [F] the only man she [D] loved?.
I know you don't do it [Am] .
usually, but dear [F] .
[C] Lord she's dying [G] to dance with my father [Am] .
again.
[D] .
[Fm] .
Every night I fall asleep, and this is all I ever [C] dream.
[G] .
[F] .
[D] .
[G] .
