Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father

Intro

Bb F/A Gm Eb

Eb


Couplet

[Bb] Back when I was a child, [F/A]

[Eb] before life removed [F7] all the innocence


[Bb] My father would lift [F/A] me high


[Eb] and dance with my moth- [F9] er and me

and then [Bb/D] Spin me around ‘till I fell [Eb] asleep [Gb]

Then up the stairs he would car- [Bb] ry me

And I knew [C/E] for sure I was loved [Cm7]

Refrein

If [Bb] I could get an- [F/A] other chance,

an- [Gm] other walk, an- [Eb] other dance with him [Cm]

I’d play a song that would nev- [Gm] er, ever end How I’d love, [Eb] love, love

To [F7] dance with my father again


Instrumentaal

Bb] [F/A] [Gm] [Eb]

Couplet

When [Bb] I and my mother would dis- [F/A] agree

[Eb] To get my way, I would run [F7sus] from her to him

[Bb] He’d make me laugh just to com- [F/A] fort me Yeah, yeah

[Eb] Then finally make me do [F7] just what my mama said

[Bb/D] Later that night when I was a- [Eb] sleep

[Gb] He left a dollar under [Bb/F] my sheet

Never dreamed [C/E] that he would be gone [Cm7] from me


Refrein

If [Bb] I could steal one [F/A] final glance,

one [Gm] final step, one [Eb] final dance with him

[Cm] I’d play a song that would nev- [Gm] er, ever end ‘Cause I’d love,

[Eb] love, love To [F7] dance with my father again [Bb]

Tussenstuk

[Eb] Sometimes I’d listen outside [F] her door

[Bb] And I’d hear how my mother cried [Gm7] for him

[Eb] I pray for her even more [F7sus] than me [F]

[Cm7] I pray for her even more [Fsus] than me [F]


Instrumentaal

[Bb] [Dm7] [Gm] [Eb]

Refrein verhogen

I [C] know I’m praying for [G/B] much too much

But [Am] could you send back the [F] only man she loved

[Dm] I know you don’t do it us- [Am] ually But dear Lord [F] she’s dying

To [G7] dance with my father [Am] again [Dm7]

[Fm6] Ev'ry night I fall asleep and [Fm6] this is all I ever dream-
