Dancing With My Father by Luther Van Dross

Back (1)________ I was a child
Before (2)________ removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around (3)________ I fell asleep
Then up the stairs, he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I (4)__________ get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song (5)________ would (6)__________ ever end
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again, ooh
When I and my (7)____________ would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He'd make me (8)__________ (9)________ to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally (10)________ me do just what my (11)__________ said
Later (12)________ night (13)________ I was asleep
He (14)________ a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed (15)________ he would be (16)________ from me
If I (17)__________ steal one final glance, one final step
One final dance with him
I'd (18)________ a song that would (19)__________ ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, (20)________ to dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her (21)________ more than me
I (22)________ for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send back the (23)________ 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
