Never Dreamed That He Would Be Gone From Me: How I'd Love To Dance With My Father Again.


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

DEDICATED TO MY FATHER DR. REV. DANIEL ADEPOJU OPESAN
May your soul find rest daddy. (13/05/1934 - 04/09/2018)
