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 â€à‚Ëœtil 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

Sometimes I´d listen outside her door
And I´d hear how my mama cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I 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
