Dancing With My Father by Luther Van Dross

Back when I was a child
Before life (1)______________ all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till I (2)________ 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 dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again, ooh
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from 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 night when I was asleep
He (3)________ a dollar under my sheet
Never (4)______________ that he would be gone from me
If I (5)__________ steal one final glance, one final step
One final dance with him
I'd (6)________ a song that 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 cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm (7)______________ for much too much
But (8)__________ 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 fall asleep and (9)________ is all I ever dream
