Dance With My Father
Luther Vandross
Text File
Best song ever!!!!!
Bb F
Back when I was a child
Eb F
Before life removed all the innocence
Bb F
My father would lift me high
Eb F
And dance with my mother and me and then
Bb Eb
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Ebm/Gb Bb
Then up the stairs he would carry me
C
And I knew for sure
F
I was loved
Bb F
If I could get another chance
Gm Bb
Another walk, another dance with him
Cm Gm
I�d play a song that would never, ever end
Eb F Bb
How I�d love, love, love to dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He�d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama 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
Cause I�d love, love, love to dance with my father again
Eb F
Sometimes I�d listen outside her door
Bb F Gm
And I�d hear how my mother cried for him
Eb F
I pray for her even more than me
Cm7 F
I pray for her even more than me
Bb F Gm Eb
C G
I know I�m prayin for much too much
Am F
But could You send back the only man she loved
Dm Am
I know You don�t do it usually
F G Am Dm
But dear Lord, she�s dyin to dance with my father again
Fm
Every night I fall asleep
C
And this is all I ever dream
C G F Dm7 G7 G C
