My song contribution:

I heard it for the first time this morning and I can't stop thinking about it. It's very sad. As I said to Girly earlier, it makes me want to hurl myself off a cliff, but there aren't any here. Anyway, on to the perky Friday song:

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 �til 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
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 how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I�m praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don�t do it usually
But dear Lord she�s dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
