Luther Vandross - Dance with my father

^CBack when I was a ^Gchild ^AmBefore life re^Fmoved all the innocence ^CMy father would ^Glift me high ^AmAnd dance with my ^Fmother and me and then

^CSpin me around till I ^Gfell asleep ^AmThen up the stairs he would ^Fcarry me And I ^Cknew for sure ^GI was loved

^CIf I could get ^Ganother chance ^AmAnother walk, ^Fanother dance with him ^dmI'd play a song that would ^Amnever, ever end How I'd ^Flove my mother to dance with my father a^Cgain

^CWhen I and my mother would ^Gdisagree ^AmTo get my way I would ^Frun from her to him ^CHe'd make me laugh just to ^Gcomfort me, yeah, yeah ^AmThen finally make me do just ^Fwhat my mama said

^CLater that night when I ^Gwas asleep ^AmHe left a dollar un^Fder my sheet Never ^Cdreamed that he Would be ^Ggone from me

^CIf I could steal ^Gone final glance ^AmOne final step, ^Fone final dance with him ^dmI'd play a song that would ^Amnever, ever end cause i'd ^Flove my mother to dance with my father a^Cgain

^dmSometimes I'd listen out^Gside her door ^CAnd I'd hear my mama ^Amcryin' for him ^FI pray for her even ^Gmore than me ^FI pray for her even ^Gmore than me

^CI know I'm prayin' for ^Gmuch too much ^AmBut could You send back ^Fthe only man she loved ^dmI know You don't do it ^Amusually But ^FLord, she's dyin' to dance with my father a^Cgain

Every ^Cnight I fall asleep And ^Gthis is all I ever ^Amdream Every ^Cnight I fall asleep And ^Gthis is all I ever ^Amdream
