To dance with my daughter again

I took some liberties with Luther Vandross song, "To dance with my father again". It's one of my favorite songs and I get tears everytime I hear it. I love you Samantha!

Back when she was alive
Before her life was removed from us
I liked to lift her high
And dance with her mother and her and then

Spin her around till she fell asleep
Then up the stairs I would carry her
And she knew for sure
She was loved

If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with her
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my daughter again

When she and her mother would disagree
To get her way she would run from her to me
I'd make her laugh just to comfort her, yeah, yeah
Then finally she'd do just what her mama said

Later that night when she was asleep
I'd smooth her hair and kiss her on the cheek
Never dreamed that she
Would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with her
I' play a song that would never, ever end
Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my daughter
again

Sometimes I'll stand outside her door
And I think I could hear her voice
I pray that I can have her back with me
I pray that I can have her back with me

I know I'm prayin for much too much
But could you send back the only girl I loved
I know You don't do it usually
But lord, I'm dyin to dance with my daughter again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
