Dancing With My Father by Luther Van Dross

Back (1)________ I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father (2)__________ lift me high
And (3)__________ with my mother and me and then
Spin me (4)____________ (5)________ I fell asleep
Then up the stairs, he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I (6)__________ get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a (7)________ that (8)__________ never (9)________ end
How I'd love, love, love to dance (10)________ my (11)____________ again, ooh
When I and my (12)____________ would disagree
To get my way I (13)__________ run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to (14)______________ me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my momma said
Later that night when I was asleep
He (15)________ a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one (16)__________ step
One final (17)__________ (18)________ him
I'd (19)________ a (20)________ that (21)__________ never ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, (22)________ to dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd (23)________ how my (24)____________ cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even (25)________ than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send (26)________ the only man she loved?
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying to dance (27)________ my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
