To Waltz With My Mother AgainIn a little dancehall, only seven years tallI'd wait to watch my daddy play On holidays from school, thinking I was so cool To be up, staying out late With my fears, he drank, I'd sit and I'd sing Every song, every word Till mammy would ask me out for a dance Oh, how in love was my world Lord, once more, give us an encore To feel the way I felt back then 'Cause I'd give everything for my daddy to sing So I could waltz with my mother again That was the start of songs in my heart As sweet harmony filled our home Given only the best till we flew the nest To go build a world of our own Then one Summer day, God called her away To watch over us from above Now every night, under the spotlight I feel the strength of her love Oh Lord, once more, give us an encore Just like it was way back then 'Cause I'd give everything for my daddy to sing So I could waltz with my mother again Lord, once more, give us an encore To feel the way I felt back then 'Cause I'd give everything for my daddy to sing So I could waltz with my mother again One day, with God's grace, I feel her embrace And I waltz with my mother again |
