Title: Dance With My Father
 
Artist: Celine Dion
 

Intro: Bb F Gm Eb

Verse:
Bb		      F  Gm	  F		Bb
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
Bb			Dm	Eb		  F	     Bb
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Bb			Eb
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Cm				  Bb
Then up the stairs he would carry me
Cm			  F
And I knew for sure I was loved

Bb		Dm		Gm	      Eb
If I could get another chance, another walk, another 

dance with him
Cm			Gm
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
Cm
How I'd love, love, love
F			Bb
To dance with my father again 

         Bb F Gm Eb

Bb				F
When I and my mother would disagree
Gm			F		Bb
To get my way, I would run from her to him
Bb			  Dm
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Eb				     F        Bb
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Bb			Eb
Later that night when I was asleep
Cm		  Bb
He left a dollar under my sheet
Cm				F
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
Bb		 Dm		   Gm	           Eb
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one 

final dance with him
Cm			Gm
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
Cm
'Cause I'd love, love, love
F			Bb
To dance with my father again
Eb                       F
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
Bb			   Gm
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
Eb			 F
I pray for her even more than me
Eb			 F
I pray for her even more than me

Bb F Gm Eb


C				G
I know I'm praying 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
Dm
But dear Lord she's dying
G			C
To dance with my father again
Dm
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

C G Am F C
