Luther Vandross - Dance with my father again

^BbBack when I was a chil^Fd, ^Gmbefore life removed all the ^Finnocence ^{Bb Bb}My father would lift me^Dm high and^Eb dance with my mother and^F me and then ^{Bb Bb}Spin me around 'til I f^Ebell asleep ^CmThen up the stairs he would carr^Bby me ^CmAnd I knew for sure I was^F loved

^BbIf I could get a^Dmnother chance, a^Gmnother walk, an^Ebother dance with him ^CmI'd play a song that wo^Gmuld never, ever end ^CmHow I'd love, love, love ^FTo dance with my fathe^Bbr again

^BbWhen I and my mother would dis^Fagree ^GmTo get my way, I would ^Frun from her to^Bb him ^BbHe'd make me laugh just t^Dmo comfort me ^EbThen finally make me do just what m^Fy mama sa^Bbid ^BbLater that night when I^Eb was asleep ^CmHe left a dollar u^Bbnder my sheet ^CmNever dreamed that he would be^F gone from me ^BbIf I could steal ^Dmone final glance, o^Gmne final step, one f^Ebinal dance with him ^CmI'd play a song that wo^Gmuld never, ever end ^Cm'Cause I'd love, love, love ^FTo dance with my fathe^Bbr again ^EbSometimes I'd listen outs^Fide her door ^BbAnd I'd hear how my mother^Gm cried for him ^EbI pray for her even more^F than me ^EbI pray for her even more^F than me

^CI know I'm praying for much t^Goo much ^AmBut could you send back the^F only man she loved ^DmI know you don't do it ^Amusually ^DmBut dear Lord she's dying ^GTo dance with my fathe^Cr again ^DmEvery night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
