[Verse]
                  F    
Back when I was a child
Eb             F      
■  Before life removed
                  Bb
All the innocence ■ 
                F          Eb
My father would lift me up ■ 
    Eb        
And dance with
   F     
My mother
                Bb
And me and then uh
Bb            
Spin me around
      Eb         
Til I fell asleep
Eb                
Then up the stairs
         Bb      
He would carry me
      C            
And I knew for sure
      F     Fsus4
I was loved ■    


[Chorus]
Bb            
If I could get
F             
Another chance
Gm          
Another walk
Eb                 C  
Another dance with him
    C          
I'd play a song
           Gm   
That would never
Gm      
Ever end
        Eb            
How I'd love love love
Fsus4    F   
To dance with
          Bb   
My father again
F Gm    Eb Bb              
■ Ooooh ■  When I my mother


[Verse]
      F       
Would disagree
Eb           
To get my way
        Fsus4
I would run  
F           Bb 
From her to him
     Bb           
He'd make me laugh
        F         
Just to comfort me
Eb          
Then finally
        Fsus4
Make me do   
F                 Bb  
Just what my mama said
                  Eb        
Later that when I was asleep
Eb              
He left a dollar
Bb            
Under my sheet
      C      
Never dreamed
     C 
That he
      C 
Would be
Cm7       Fsus4
Gone from me   
Bb              
If I could steal
F               
One final glance
Gm            
One final step


[Chorus]
    Eb   
One final
           C  
Dance with him
    C          
I'd play a song
     C    
That would
Gm            
Never ever end
        Eb            
How I'd love love love
F            
To dance with
          Bb   
My father again
Eb                  
Sometimes I'd listen
F               
Outside her door
Bb          
And I'd here
    Bb  
How mama
      Gm7        
Would cry for him
Eb                 
■  I'd pray for her
     Fsus4     F 
Even more than me
Cm7                 
■   I'd pray for her
     Fsus4       
Even more than me
         
Ooooh ooh
    F    
Ooh ooooh
Bb F Gm Eb
■  ■ ■  ■ 
  C   
I know
C          
I'm praying
G               
For much to much
Am7      
But could
    Am7      
You send back
F           
The only man
          Dm7
She loved ■  
Dm7             
I know you don't
      Am7     Am
Do it usually ■ 
         F   
But dear Lord
F         
She's dyin
   Gsus4
To dance
G             
With my father
Am7       Dm7 F     Fm7  
■   Again ■   Every night


[Outro]
  Fm7        
I fall asleep
F              
And this is all
  C         
I ever dream
G F Dm Dm7 G C
