Dance With My Father Lyrics - Dance With My Father - Luther Vandross

Back when I was a child 

Before life removed all the innocence 

My father would lift me high 

And dance with my mother and me and then 

Spin me around till 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 I and my mother would disagree 

To get my way I would run from her to him 

He'd make me laugh just to comfort me(yeah, yeah) 

Then finally make me do just what my momma said 

Later that night, when 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 

Cause I'd love love love to dance with my father again 

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door 

I'd hear how my mother cried for him 

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door 

I'd hear how my mother cried for him

I'd pray for her even more than me 

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 dying to dance with my father again 

Every night I fall asleep 

And this is all I ever dream
