Dance With My Father Chords

   
c                 g
Back when I was a child
am            f
Before life removed all the innocence
c               g
My father would lift me high
am                f
And dance with my mother and me and then


c                     g
Spin me around till I fell asleep
am                          f
Then up the stairs he would carry me
      c
And I knew for sure
g
I was loved

c              g
If I could get another chance
am            f
Another walk, another dance with him
dm                         am
I'd play a song that would never, ever end

        f                                       c
How I'd love my mother to dance with my father again


c                          g
When I and my mother would disagree
am                    f
To get my way I would run from her to him
c                          g
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
am                           f
Then finally make me do just what my mama said

c                       g
Later that night when I was asleep
am                 f
He left a dollar under my sheet
      c
Never dreamed that he
         g
Would be gone from me


c                g
If I could steal one final glance
am              f
One final step, one final dance with him
dm                         am
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
                    f
cause i'd love my mother to dance with my father
 c
again


dm                      g
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
c                    am
And I'd hear my mama cryin' for him
f                   g
I pray for her even more than me
f                   g
I pray for her even more than me

c                      g
I know I'm prayin' for much too much
am                      f
But could You send back the only man she loved
dm                     am
I know You don't do it usually

But Lord, she's dyin' to dance with my father again
dm
Every night I fall asleep

And this is all I ever dream
