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 (1)________ 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, (2)______________ dance with him
I'd (3)________ a song that would never ever end
How I'd love, love, love to dance (4)________ 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 left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone (5)________ me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step
One (6)__________ dance with him
I'd play 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 (7)________ how my mother (8)__________ for him
I pray for her (9)________ more than me
I pray for her even (10)________ than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could 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 this is all I ever dream
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 (1)________ 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, (2)______________ dance with him
I'd (3)________ a song that would never ever end
How I'd love, love, love to dance (4)________ my father again, ooh
When I and my mother would disagree
