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