back when i was a child
<388, 1260><388, 1260><374, 1260><374, 1260><361, 1260><887, 1260>
before life removed all the innocence
<774, 1260><374, 1260><840, 1260><388, 1260><388, 1260><2380, 1260>
my father would lift me high
<245, 1260><640, 1260><410, 1260><402, 1260><313, 1260><905, 1260>
and dance with my mother and me
<405, 1260><405, 1260><365, 1260><365, 1260><1075, 1260><400, 1260><714, 1260>
and then spin me around till i fell asleep
<410, 1260><440, 1260><465, 1260><385, 1260><680, 1260><345, 1260><345, 1260><480, 1260><1190, 1260>
then up the stairs he would carry me
<400, 1260><320, 1260><320, 1260><590, 1260><250, 1260><320, 1260><840, 1260><780, 1260>
and i knew for sure i was loved
<320, 1260><320, 1260><320, 1260><320, 1260><320, 1260><320, 1260><320, 1260><940, 1260>
if i could get another chance
<180, 1260><373, 1260><466, 1260><466, 1260><866, 1260><1046, 1260>
another walk
<746, 1260><966, 1260>
another dance
<826, 1260><759, 1260>
with him i'd play a song that would never ever end
<413, 1260><413, 1260><546, 1260><360, 1260><353, 1260><320, 1260><380, 1260><413, 1260><413, 1260><380, 1260><686, 1260>
how i'd love love love
<466, 1260><480, 1260><360, 1260><466, 1260><966, 1260>
to dance with my father again
<180, 1260><275, 1260><335, 1260><335, 1260><800, 1260><850, 1260>
tonight my mother would disagree
<328, 1260><417, 1260><760, 1260><417, 1260><1580, 1260>
to get my way i would run from her to him
<409, 1260><380, 1260><380, 1260><380, 1260><360, 1260><360, 1260><388, 1260><409, 1260><408, 1260><389, 1260><888, 1260>
he'd make me laugh yours to comfort me
<454, 1260><295, 1260><388, 1260><847, 1260><93, 1260><299, 1260><688, 1260><812, 1260>

<385, 1260><885, 1260>
then finally make me do just what my mama said
<425, 1260><1080, 1260><373, 1260><360, 1260><372, 1260><353, 1260><340, 1260><372, 1260><713, 1260><852, 1260>

the dollar under my sheet
<347, 1260><607, 1260><469, 1260><469, 1260><1089, 1260>
never dreamed that he would be gone from me
<469, 1260><520, 1260><395, 1260><394, 1260><395, 1260><360, 1260><434, 1260><435, 1260><934, 1260>
if i could steal one final glance
<420, 1260><420, 1260><440, 1260><680, 1260><440, 1260><920, 1260><1060, 1260>
one final step
<440, 1260><840, 1260><940, 1260>
one final dance
<440, 1260><880, 1260><799, 1260>
with him i'd play a song that would never ever end
<380, 1260><380, 1260><500, 1260><300, 1260><380, 1260><400, 1260><360, 1260><380, 1260><400, 1260><360, 1260><759, 1260>

<440, 1260><380, 1260><340, 1260><440, 1260><940, 1260>
to dance with my father again
<269, 1260><268, 1260><337, 1260><337, 1260><840, 1260><837, 1260>
sometimes i'd listen outside her door
<949, 1260><360, 1260><548, 1260><777, 1260><337, 1260><917, 1260>
and i'd hear how my mother cried for him
<377, 1260><275, 1260><293, 1260><380, 1260><404, 1260><856, 1260><380, 1260><320, 1260><824, 1260>
i pray for her even more than me
<409, 1260><409, 1260><305, 1260><304, 1260><405, 1260><404, 1260><409, 1260><909, 1260>
i pray for her even more than me
<409, 1260><409, 1260><305, 1260><304, 1260><385, 1260><384, 1260><409, 1260><909, 1260>
i know i'm praying for much too much
<429, 1260><428, 1260><832, 1260><1008, 1260><449, 1260><448, 1260><480, 1260><957, 1260>
but how could you send back the only man she loved
<457, 1260><130, 1260><190, 1260><420, 1260><560, 1260><480, 1260><520, 1260><520, 1260><520, 1260><520, 1260><999, 1260>
i know you don't do it usually
<480, 1260><380, 1260><420, 1260><320, 1260><340, 1260><460, 1260><1980, 1260>
but dear lord she's dying to dance with my father again
<383, 1260><440, 1260><383, 1260><652, 1260><611, 1260><312, 1260><311, 1260><372, 1260><371, 1260><840, 1260><883, 1260>
