Celine Dion – Dance With My Father lyrics

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocents
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, 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 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 love, love, love
To dance with my father again

Sometimes I would listen outside her door
and I'd hear how my momma cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more 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
