Spin me around 'til I fell asleep Then up the he would carry me And I knew for sure I was loved

If I could get another , 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 When I and my mother would _

To get my way, I would run from her to him He'd make me laugh just to me 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 _ from me
