Dance With My Father chords by Luther Vandross

C         G
Back when I was a child
Am      F
Before life removed all the innocence
C        G
My father would lift me high
Am        F
And dance with my mother and me and then

C           G
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Am             F
Then up the stairs he would carry me
   C
And I knew for sure
G

I was loved

C       G
If I could get another chance
Am      F
Another walk, another dance with him
Dm             Am
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
    F                    C
How I'd love my mother to dance with my father again

C  G  Am  F

C             G
When I and my mother would disagree
Am          F
To get my way I would run from her to him
C             G
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Am              F
Then finally make me do just what my mama said

C            G
Later that night when I was asleep
Am         F
He left a dollar under my sheet
   C
Never dreamed that he
     G
Would be gone from me

C        G
If I could steal one final glance
Am       F
One final step, one final dance with him
Dm             Am
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
     F
cause i'd love my mother to dance with my father
 C
again

Dm           G
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
C          Am
And I'd hear my mama cryin' for him
F          G
I pray for her even more than me
F          G
I pray for her even more than me

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                     C
But Lord, she's dyin' to dance with my father again

C  G  Am  F

C
Every night I fall asleep
  G         Am
And this is all I ever dream
   C
Every night I fall asleep
  G         Am
And this is all I ever dream
