Dance With My Father Lyrics - Singles - Kellie Coffey

Back when I was a child 

Before life removed all the innocence 

My father would lift me high 

And dance with my momma and me 

And then spin me around 'til I fell asleep 

Then up the stairs, he would carry me 

And I knew for sure I was loved 

If I could get another chance 

Another walk, another dance with him 

I'd play a song that would never, ever end 

How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again 

When me an' my momma would disagree 

To get my way, I would run from her to him 

He'd make me laugh just to comfort me 

Then finally make me do just what my momma said 

Later that night while I was asleep 

He left a dollar under my sheet 

Never dreamed that he would be gone from me 

If I could steal one final glance 

One final step, one final dance with him 

I'd play a song that would never, ever end 

How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again 

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door 

And I'd hear how my momma cried for him 

I'd pray for her even more than me 

I'd pray for her even more 

"I know I'm praying for much too much 

But could You send back the only man she loved 

I know You don't do it usually 

But, dear Lord, she's dyin' to dance with my father again" 

Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
