Dancing With My Father by Luther Van Dross

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And (1)__________ with my mother and me and then
Spin me (2)____________ till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs, he would carry me
And I (3)________ for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a (4)________ that would never (5)________ end
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again, ooh
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 (6)________ what my momma said
Later that night when I was asleep
He (7)________ 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 (8)________ a song that would never ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance (9)________ my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But (10)__________ 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
