Dance with My Father (In the Style of Luther Vandross) (Karaoke Version)

Dance with My Father (In the Style of Luther Vandross) (Demo Vocal Version) - ProSource Karaoke

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 'til 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

When me an' 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 while 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 hear how my Momma cried for him

I'd pray for her even more than me

I'd 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 dyin' to

Dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleep

And this is all I ever dream
