I've loved this song ever since I first heard it years ago. I finally took the time to learn it after a couple people told me of their father's passing. I hope this helps you both.

:::LYRICS:::
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would life me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till 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
Cause 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, yea yea
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, on 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
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mama cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm prayin' for much to much
But could you send back
Then only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she'd dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
This is all I ever dream...

I was gonna play and sing this at my dad's funeral in 2004.. finally I just couldn't do it, bawling my eyes out... so I asked my half-sis to play for me and still I barely finished the song w/ the help of the crowd

Can't stop watching. My grandfather recently passed away and this song hits close to home. The combination of the piano with your voice is simply amazing. I love this video and am definitely a fan!!!!! You're great!
