dance with my father

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

fixing a broken heart

There was nothing to say the day she left
Just filled a suitcase full of regrets
I hailed a taxi in the rain
Looking for some place to ease the pain, ooh
Then like an answered prayer
I turned around and found you there

[Chorus]
You really know where to start
Fixing a broken heart
You really know what to do
Your emotional tools can cure any fool
Whose dreams have fallen apart
Fixing a broken heart

Now I don’t understand what I’m going through
There must be a plan that led me to you
Because the hurt just disappears
In every moment that you are near, yeah
Just like an answered prayer
You made the loneliness easy to bear

[Repeat Chorus]

Soon the rain will stop falling baby
Let’s forget the past
Cause here we are at last

[Repeat Chorus]
