DANCING WITH DAD
Dedicated to Two Wonderful Dads: PAUL
SURDEN and SOLOMON Z. GOLDBERG
Especially for LESLIE SURDEN
I wish I could dance
With my dad once again,
Just one more time
He was so happy then.

I wish we could dance
Oh I wish it so much,
Just one more time
Dad and I, still in touch.

I wish I could dance
With my dad so admired,
Just one more time
He won't be too tired.

I wish we could dance
One more time, dad and I,
To hear his great laughter
As we danced right on by.

I wish we could dance
For I so long to see,
The dad that I love
Still dancing with me.

I wish we could dance
Dearest dad, I so miss,
Just one more time
To just reminisce.

I wish I could dance
With my dad, oh so clever,
For that moment in time
I'd be grateful forever.

I wish I could dance
With my dad, who knows when?
For I know he'll be happy
When we dance once again.
