Dance With My FatherArtist: Luther Vandross Lyrics

Back when I was a childBefore life removed all the innocenceMy father would lift me highAnd dance with my mother and me And thenSpin me around 'till I fell asleepThen up the stairs he would carry me And I knew for sure I was loved

If I could get another chanceAnother walkAnother dance with himI'd play a song that would never ever endHow I'd love love love To dance with my father again

When I and my mother Would disagreeTo get my way I would run From her to himHe'd make me laugh just to comfort meyeah yeahThen finally make me do Just what my mama saidLater that night when I was asleepHe left a dollar under my sheetNever dreamed that he Would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glanceWhen final step

One final dance with himI'd play a song that would never ever endCause I'd love love love to Dance with my father again

Sometimes I'd listen outside her doorAnd I'd hear how mama would cry for himI'd pray for her even more than meI'd pray for her even more than me

I know I'm praying for much to muchBut could you send her The only man she lovedI know you don't do it usuallyBut Dear LordShe's dying to dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleepAnd this is all I ever dream
