McElderry, Joe - Dance With My Father Lyrics






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 till 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

Ooh, ooh

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, yeah, yeah
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 her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me

I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

  5. P.... A....

    Im from the USA and I stumbled upon Joe and this from way back and all can say that im amazed-Ive also loved Collarbro and Susan Boyle with their auditions from way back-there is today a lacking of good music and deep heartfelt singers who have the ability to move someone to tears and not the noise that is so prominent.

  6. C.... J....

    He is good but Olly was so much better

    C.... J....

    I agree with you, He is the best !Simon is on idiot sometimes ,it's is lost ,the thing is Simon doesn't like to loose, poor thing, I'm happy for Joe that a lot of fans love him,I'm one of them. You're doing great Joe,we love you just the way you are .God bless you 😍😊

    C.... J....

    I don't think so, Olly is good but he can't beat Joe ,no way!Joe can sing anything, even GEORGE
    Michael said he was fantastic, May he rest in peace, one of my
    Favorite singer 😍

    C.... J....

    @LEAH MARANTO I'm french and i think Joe has an amazing voice and he looks like very nice. He has a beautiful smile. But it's a shame he gets fat because he was so cute when he was younger!!! Also i don't like Simon: he was jealous of Joe's incredible talent in x factor.

    C.... J....

    @Vincent BILLAUD remember that he was only 18 ,he was a child, know is a man ,so what! his a little full,but he is the same Joe ,loveable, funy , friendly with a magnificent voice .Vincent I'm Italian ,nice to know you, I live in the USA and I love LARA the way she sings 😍

    C.... J....

    @LEAH MARANTO I don't understand what you say at the end of your sentence. But I think i am in love with Joe! I love him so much!

  7. M.... B....

    This kid came out of NOWHERE,

    (Auditioned right after the infamous, "Emma and Samantha," who were absolutely TWICE as horrendous than when Emma auditioned solo in 2009,)

    And he's been a pleasant surprise EVERY week.

    Completely reminds me of the rise of Clay Aiken on American Idol WAY back!
