    Verse 1
    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 

    Chorus 1
    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 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    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 
    un
    der 
    my 
    sheet 

    Never 
    dreamed 
    that 
    he 

    Would 
    be 
    gone 
    from 
    me 

    Chorus 2
    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 

    Bridge 1
    Sometimes 
    I'd 
    listen 
    outside 
    her 
    door 

    And 
    I'd 
    hear 
    how 
    my 
    ma
    ma 
    cried 
    for 
    him 

    I'd 
    pray 
    for 
    her 
    even 
    more 
    than 
    me 

    I'd 
    pray 
    for 
    her 
    even 
    more 
    than 
    me 

    Interlude 2


    Chorus 3
    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 

    a
    gain 

    Every 
    night 
    I 
    fall 
    asleep 

    Outro 1
    And 
    this 
    is 
    all 
    I 
    ever 
    dream

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
