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 (1)__________ carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get (2)______________ chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd (3)________ a song (4)________ would (5)__________ ever end
How I'd love, love, (6)________ to (7)__________ (8)________ my (9)____________ again, ooh
When I and my (10)____________ would disagree
To get my way I would run (11)________ her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do (12)________ what my momma said
Later that night (13)________ I was asleep
He (14)________ a (15)____________ under my sheet
Never (16)______________ that he would be gone from me
If I (17)__________ steal one final glance, one final step
One final dance with him
I'd (18)________ a song that would never ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, (19)________ to dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen (20)______________ her door
And I'd (21)________ how my mother cried for him
I (22)________ for her even more than me
I (23)________ for her even more than me
I (24)________ I'm (25)______________ for much too much
But could you send (26)________ the only man she loved?
I know you don't do it usually
But dear (27)________ she's dying to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever (28)__________
