Dancing With My Father by Luther Van Dross

Back when I was a child
Before life (1)______________ all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my (2)____________ and me and then
Spin me around (3)________ I (4)________ 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 (5)__________ never 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 would run from her to him
He'd make me (6)__________ (7)________ to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then (8)______________ make me do just (9)________ my momma said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a (10)____________ under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone (11)________ me
If I could steal one (12)__________ glance, one final step
One final dance with him
I'd (13)________ a song (14)________ (15)__________ never ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, (16)________ to dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen (17)______________ her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I (18)________ for her even more than me
I pray for her even more (19)________ me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send (20)________ the only man she loved?
I (21)________ you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying to (22)__________ (23)________ my (24)____________ again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
