Dance With My Father chords by Luther Vandross

Chords with lyrics

C majorC         G+G
Back when I was a child
A minorAm      FF
Before life removed all the innocence
C majorC        G+G
My father would lift me high
A minorAm        FF
And dance with my mother and me and then

C majorC           G+G
Spin me around till I fell asleep
A minorAm             FF
Then up the stairs he would carry me
   C majorC
And I knew for sure
G+G
I was loved

C majorC       G+G
If I could get another chance
A minorAm      FF
Another walk, another dance with him
DmDm             A minorAm
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
    FF                    C majorC
How I'd love my mother to dance with my father again

C majorC  G+G  A minorAm  FF

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

C majorC            G+G
Later that night when I was asleep
A minorAm         FF
He left a dollar under my sheet
   C majorC
Never dreamed that he
     G+G
Would be gone from me

C majorC        G+G
If I could steal one final glance
A minorAm       FF
One final step, one final dance with him
DmDm             A minorAm
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
     FF
cause i'd love my mother to dance with my father
 C majorC
again

DmDm           G+G
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
C majorC          A minorAm
And I'd hear my mama cryin' for him
FF          G+G
I pray for her even more than me
FF          G+G
I pray for her even more than me

C majorC           G+G
I know I'm prayin' for much too much
A minorAm           FF
But could You send back the only man she loved
DmDm           A minorAm
I know You don't do it usually
  FF                     C majorC
But Lord, she's dyin' to dance with my father again

C majorC  G+G  A minorAm  FF

C majorC
Every night I fall asleep
  G+G         A minorAm
And this is all I ever dream
   C majorC
Every night I fall asleep
  G+G         A minorAm
And this is all I ever dream
