Dancing With My Father by Luther Van Dross
Back when I was a child
Before (1)________ removed all the innocence
My (2)____________ would lift me high
And (3)__________ with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs, he would (4)__________ me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance
Another walk, another (5)__________ (6)________ him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love, love, love to dance (7)________ my father again, ooh
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run (8)________ her to him
He'd make me laugh just to (9)______________ me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my momma said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a (10)____________ under my sheet
Never dreamed (11)________ he would be (12)________ from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step
One final dance (13)________ him
I'd play a song (14)________ would never (15)________ end
'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance (16)________ my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd (17)________ how my (18)____________ cried for him
I pray for her even more (19)________ me
I pray for her (20)________ (21)________ than me
I know I'm (22)______________ for much too much
But could you send back the (23)________ man she loved?
I (24)________ you don't do it usually
But (25)________ (26)________ she's (27)__________ to dance (28)________ my father again
Every (29)__________ I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
Before (1)________ removed all the innocence
My (2)____________ would lift me high
And (3)__________ with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs, he would (4)__________ me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance
Another walk, another (5)__________ (6)________ him
