Back when I was a child

C2 C2 C2 C2 C2 C2 D2 B A G
Before life removed all the innocence

G G C2 C2 D2 E2 D2
My father would lift me high

C2 C2 C2 C2 C2 C2 D2 B

And dance with my mother and me

A G
And then

E2 E2 E2 G2 G2 G2 D2 C2 C2
Spin me around 'till I fell asleep

F2 F2 F2 F2 E2 D2 D2 C2E2
Then up the stairs he would carry me

C2 D2 E2 D2 D2
And I knew for sure

C2 D2 D2
I was loved

G E2 E2 G2 C2D2D2 E2
If I could get another chance

D2C2C2 E2
Another walk

C2C2C2 C2 B A
Another dance with him

F2 F2 F2 F2 E2 D2 D2C2 C2D2 E2
I'd play a song that would never ever end

C2 D2 F2 E2 C2
How I'd love love love

C2 F2 F2 F2 F2 E2 C2 C2
To dance with my father again

G G G E2 E2 D2
When I and my mother

C2 D2C2E2
Would disagree

C2 C2 C2 C2 C2 C2 C2
To get my way I would run

B B A AG
From her to him
G G G G C2 D2 D2 C2 E2

He'd make me laugh just to comfort me

D2 C2

yeah yeah

C2 C2 C2 C2 C2 C2
Then finally make me do

C2 C2 D2 B A A G
Just what my mama said

E2 E2 E2 G2 G2 G2D2 C2 C2
Later that night when I was asleep

F2 F2G2A2G2 E2D2 C2 E2
He left a dollar under my sheet

C2 D2 E2 D2 D2
Never dreamed that he

C2 D2 E2 D2 D2
Would be gone from me

G E2 E2 G2 C2 D2D2 E2
If I could steal one final glance

D2 C2C2 E2
When final step

C2 C2C2 C2 B A
One final dance with him

F2 F2 F2 F2 E2 D2 D2C2 C2D2 E2
I'd play a song that would never ever end

C2 D2 F2 E2 C2
Cause I'd love love love

C2 F2 F2 F2 F2 E2 C2 C2
To dance with my father again

F2 F2 F2 F2 F2 G2 A2 G2G2D2
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door

C2 E2 E2 E2 G2G2 D2 D2 C2 E2D2C2
And I'd hear how mama would cry for him

F2 F2 F2 F2 G2A2 A2 G2 G2
I'd pray for her even more than me

F2 F2 F2 F2 G2A2 A2 G2 G2
I'd pray for her even more than me

A F2# F2# A2 D2 E2 E2 F2 #
I know I'm praying for much to much

E2 D2 D2 F2# D2
But could you send her

D2 D2D2 D2 C2# B
The only man she loved
G2G2G2G2F2#E2E2D2D2E2F2#

I know you don't do it usually

D2 E2 G2
But Dear Lord

F2# E2 D2 C2 G2 G2 G2 G2F2#D2D2
She's dying to dance with my father again

E2 E2 E2 F2#E2 D2D2
Every night I fall asleep

D2 E2 E2 E2 F2#E2D2 D2
And this is all I ever dream
