Celine Dion - Dance With My Father

[Intro]
C G/B Am F

C G/B
Back when I was a child
Am F
before life removed all the innocence
C G/B Am
My father would lift me high
F
And dance with my mother and me and then,
C/E F
Spin me around ’til I fell asleep
Ddim C/G
And up the stairs he would carry me
D/F# G
And I knew for sure I was loved.

[Chorus]
C G/B
If I could get another chance,
Am F Dm
Another walk, another dance with him,
Am
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
F G C
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again

[Interlude]
C G/B Am F

C G/B
When I and my mother would disagree,
Am F
To get my way I would run from her to him
C G/B Am
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
F
And finally make me do just what my mama said
C/E F
Later that night when I was asleep,
Ddim C/G
He left a dollar under my sheet
D/F# G
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me.

[Chorus]
C G/B
If I could get one final glance,
Am F Dm
One final step, one final dance with him
Am
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
F G C
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again

[Bridge]
F G
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
C Am
And hear my mama cried for him
F G
I pray for her even more than me,
Dm G
I pray for her even more than me.

[Interlude]
C G/B Am F

D A/C#
I know I prayed, for much too much
Bm G
But could you send back the only man she loved,
Em Bm G
I know you don’t do it usually, but dear lord she’s dying
A Bm
to dance with my father again.
Bb13b5
Every night I fall asleep this is all I ever dreamed

[Outro]
D A/C# Bm G

Em Bm G
I know you don’t do it usually, but dear lord she’s dying
A D
To dance with my father again.
