Dance with my grandma

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My grandma would lift me high
And dance with my grandpa and me and then
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs she would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved

If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with her
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love love love to dance with my grandma again

When I and my grandpa would disagree
To get my way I would run from him to her
She'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my grandpa said
Later that night, when I was asleep
She left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that she would be gone from me

If I could steal
One final glance
One final step
One final dance with her
I'd play a song that would never ever end
Cause I'd love love love to dance with my grandma again

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
I'd hear how my aunty cried for her
I'd pray for her even more than me

I'd pray for her even more than me

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

Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
