Dancing With My Father by Luther Van Dross

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