Dancing With My Father by Luther Van Dross

Back (1)________ 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 carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I (2)__________ get another chance
Another walk, another (3)__________ (4)________ him
I'd play a song that (5)__________ (6)__________ (7)________ end
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again, ooh
When I and my mother (8)__________ disagree
To get my way I (9)__________ run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to (10)______________ me, yeah, yeah
Then finally (11)________ me do just what my momma said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one (12)__________ step
One final (13)__________ (14)________ him
I'd play a (15)________ that (16)__________ never (17)________ end
'Cause I'd love, love, (18)________ to dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd (19)________ how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her (20)________ more than me
I know I'm praying for (21)________ too much
But (22)__________ you send (23)________ 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 (24)__________ I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
