Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father Chords

Best song ever!!!!!


Bb                   F
Back when I was a child
Eb                 F 
Before life removed all the innocence
Bb                   F 
My father would lift me high
Eb                              F 
And dance with my mother and me and then 
Bb                          Eb
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Ebm/F#                         Bb 
Then up the stairs he would carry me
          C 
And I knew for sure 
         F
I was loved 
Bb                   F
If I could get another chance
Gm                     Bb 
Another walk, another dance with him
Cm                                       Gm 
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
Eb                                     F                                     Bb 
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, 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 

Eb                                   F
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
Bb                     F                     Gm
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him 
Eb                            F
I pray for her even more than me
Cm7                         F 
I pray for her even more than me 

Bb    F     Gm     Eb

  C                                G
I know I’m prayin 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
                     F                         G                               Am          Dm
But dear Lord, she’s dyin to dance with my father again
Fm 
Every night I fall asleep 
                                        C
And this is all I ever dream

C     G      F      Dm7  G7  G      C
