Dancing With My Father by Luther Van Dross

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would (1)________ me high
And (2)__________ with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till 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 (3)__________ with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love, love, (4)________ to (5)__________ (6)________ my father again, ooh
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He'd (7)________ me (8)__________ just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then (9)______________ make me do (10)________ what my momma said
Later that night (11)________ I was asleep
He (12)________ a (13)____________ under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be (14)________ from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step
One final dance with him
I'd (15)________ a song (16)________ 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 (17)____________ (18)__________ for him
I (19)________ for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I (20)________ I'm praying for much too much
But (21)__________ you send (22)________ the (23)________ man she loved?
I (24)________ you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's (25)__________ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever (26)__________
