VERSE 1
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would dance with me
Hold me in his arms and play with me
Make up songs and sing to me
Then lovingly he would hold me
And I knew for sure that he loved me
CHORUS 1
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
VERSE 2
Back when I was baby girl
Before I was too heavy to be carried
My father would lift me high
And smile at me. Oh! How he loved me
He gave me a name that meant so much to him mmm
Then prayed for me and spoke good things over me
And I knew for sure that he loved me
CHORUS 2
I’d love to spend an extra hour, an extra day
Some extra time with him,
Oh how I cherish those moments we shared
And I’d love love, love, to dance with my father again
Oooh mmm oh yeah
VERSE 3
When I became an older child
That's when I thought I knew it all
I despised my father's words
I just ignored and avoided him
I thought he didn't understand my ways
With old ideas that were long, long gone
But right now I see, I was wrong
CHORUS 3
My father's words were very right.
The problem was me. How foolish I have been
Wish I could turn back the hand of the clock
Just for one more chance to be with my father again
BRIDGE
I realize how I didn’t know
Or understand father’s love for me
Now I am grown I can clearly see
The many things he did just for me
INTERLUDE
MODULATION
Whoa
CHORUS 4
I know I’m asking a lot dear Lord
But would you please tell him I love him so dearly
So many mistakes with my father's love
So dear Lord I’m praying, turn his heart to me again whoa ooh mm
Lord I pray to you please
Restore my father’s love for me again
