Dance With My Father Again (Luther Vandross cover)
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 'til I fell 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
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 Then finally make me do just what my mama said Later that night when I was asleep He left a dollar under my sheet Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, One final step, one final 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
