Kellie Coffey Dance With My Father Again Lyrics

Dance With My Father Again Lyrics

Back when I was a child

Before life removed all the innocence

My father would lift me high

And dance with my momma and me and then

Spin me around till I fell asleep

Then up the stairs he would carry me

And I new 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.



When me and my momma would disagree

To get my way I would run from her to him

He'd make me laugh just to comfort me 

Then finally make me do just what my momma said

Later that night when I was asleep

He left a dollar under my sheet

Never dreamed that he would be gone from me.



If I could steal one final glance,

One final step, one final 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 hearmy momma cry for him

I'd pray for her even more than me

I'd pray for her even more.



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...
