[Verse 1]
G                 D
Back when i was a child
 
C9           D
Before life removed all the innocence
 
G               D
My father would lift me high
 
C9                  D
And dance with my mother and me and then
 
G                     D
Spin me around till I fell asleep
 
Am7                    C9
Then up the stairs he would carry me
 
      Am7                 D
And I knew for sure I was loved
 
 
[Chorus]
G              D
If I could get another chance
 
Em7           C9
Another walk, another dance with him
 
Am7                      Em7
I'd play a song that would never ever end
 
C9                       D                     G
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                          D
When I and my mother would disagree
 
C9                     D
To get my way I would run from her to him
 
G                          D
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
 
C9                   D
Then finally make me do just what my momma said
 
Em7                      C9
Later that night, when I was asleep
 
Am7              C9
He left a dollar under my sheet
 
Am7                            D
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
 
 
 
 
[Chorus]
G                D
If I could steal one final glance 
 
Em7             C9
One final step, one final dance with him
 
Am7                         Em7
I'd play a song that would never ever end
 
C9                             D                  G
Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
 
 
[Verse 3]
C                       D
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
 
G                    Em7
I'd hear how my mother cried for him
 
C9                 D
I'd pray for her even more than me
 
C9                 D
I'd pray for her even more than me
 
 
[Verse 4]* KEY CHANGE
A                      E
I know I'm praying for much too much
 
    F#m                 D
But could you send back the only man she loved
 
Bm                F#m
I know you don't do it usually
 
Bm                            E                   A
But dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again
 
 
[Mini Bridge]
E
Every night I fall asleep
 
E
And this is all I ever dream
