dedication to my late father, Arturo "Jun" Rafael. the best musician i have ever known.Sept 5 1946 - Sept 15 1999love you dad.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 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 meI 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

Aug 16, 2008 - AJ, I let my mom hear this song and she cried with memory of her father. I know how u feel. I have seen and heard of many ppl i know, used to know, or don't know. I would cry. One of my loved one is my dog Boogie who died July 2008. He was the only dog i got to be with and I will never let him out of my heart like u with ur dad. It's nice for what u did for ur dad. Congratz ^_^
