Dancing With My Father by Luther Van Dross
Back (1)________ I was a child
Before life (2)______________ all the innocence
My (3)____________ (4)__________ (5)________ me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around (6)________ 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 (7)________ would (8)__________ ever 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 (9)__________ run from her to him
He'd (10)________ me (11)__________ just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then (12)______________ make me do just what my momma said
Later that (13)__________ when I was asleep
He left a dollar (14)__________ my sheet
Never dreamed (15)________ he would be (16)________ (17)________ me
If I could (18)__________ one final glance, one final step
One final dance with him
I'd play a song that would (19)__________ ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my (20)____________ again
Sometimes I'd listen (21)______________ her door
And I'd hear how my (22)____________ cried for him
I pray for her (23)________ more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you (24)________ 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 (25)________ asleep and (26)________ is all I ever (27)__________
Before life (2)______________ all the innocence
My (3)____________ (4)__________ (5)________ me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around (6)________ 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 (7)________ would (8)__________ ever end
