Dance with my father
par Céline Dion

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 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
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, one 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 mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I 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 dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
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 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
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, one 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 mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I 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 dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
