Spin me around til' I fell asleep
When I and my mother would disagree
He left a dollar under my sheet
Then up the stairs he would carry me
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
Another walk, another dance with him
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
One final dance with him
But dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again
If I could get another chance
I'd play a song that would never ever end
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again, ooh
But could you send back the only man she loved?
I'd play a song that would never ever end
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah yeah
Then finally make me do just what my momma said
If I could steal one final glance, one final step
My father would lift me high
To get my way I would run from her to him
And I knew for sure I was loved
Later that night when I was asleep
I know you don't do it usually
I know I'm praying for much too much
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
And dance with my mother and me and then
'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
