� Piano Music � � 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 till 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 � � Piano Music � � 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 � � How I'd love, love, love � � To dance with my father again � � Piano Music � � Sometimes I'd listen outside her door � � And I'd hear how my mama cried for him � � I'd pray for her even more than me � � I'd pray for her even more than me, yeah � � Piano Music � � 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 � � Piano Music � � Every night I fall asleep � � This is all I ever dreamed � � Piano Music �
