Verse 1: 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 Spend me around till I fell asleep Then up the stairs he would carry me And I knew for sure I was loved
Chorus: 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
Verse 2: 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
Chorus: 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
Verse 3: Sometimes I'd listen outside her door I'd hear how my mother cried for him (2x) I'd 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

DADDY, THIS IS FOR YOU.
DANCE WITH MY FATHER
LUTHER VANDROSS
Verse 1:
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
Spend me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
Chorus:
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
Verse 2:
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
Chorus:
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
Verse 3:
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
I'd hear how my mother cried for him
(2x) I'd 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
