Dance With My Mother - Rewritten version of Dance With My Father
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My mother would hold me tight
And whisper that I was her true beat friend
Take hold my hand when I had my fears
And help me face them right through the years
Oh I knew for sure, I was loved

If I could get another chance, another hug
Another dance with her
I'd play a song that went on and on
How I love, love, love
To dance with my mother once more

Whenever I'd come home from day to day
She'd be there waving and smiling at the window
She'd let me in and she'd always say
"You'll be my baby no matter how big you grow"
I never dreamed that she'd not be here
To watch me grow up over the years
Oh mum, I have grew
To be just like you
If I could steal one final glance, one final step
One final dance with her
I'd play a song that went on and on
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my mother once more

Sometimes I sit by her bedroom door
I lay and listen there silently
I swear that sometimes she sings for me
Oh mum I hear you, come home to me

I know I'm praying, for much too much
But could you send back the only one I love
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord, I'm dying to dance with my mother again

Every night I fall asleep, and this is all I ever dream
