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 dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs, he would (1)__________ me
And I (2)________ for (3)________ I was loved
If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song (4)________ (5)__________ (6)__________ ever end
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again, ooh
When I and my mother (7)__________ disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh (8)________ to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then (9)______________ make me do just (10)________ my momma said
Later that night when I was asleep
He (11)________ a (12)____________ (13)__________ my sheet
Never (14)______________ (15)________ he would be gone from me
If I (16)__________ steal one (17)__________ glance, one final step
One final dance with him
I'd play a (18)________ (19)________ would never ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother (20)__________ for him
I (21)________ for her (22)________ more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But (23)__________ 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 (24)________ (25)____________ and this is all I (26)________ dream
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs, he would (1)__________ me
And I (2)________ for (3)________ I was loved
