One More Song And Dance

I could bring flowers today To the marker where you sleep eternal But the rain makes me think better of it Besides, you are not there But here, in my every breath I am still small enough to sit on your lap Throw my arms around your neck And know nobody loves me Like you do One more song and dance On a Sunday set aside for fathers We could dust off the old albums Stack them high enough to play all day And spend the day As father and daughter Til all the music ends I look for you in many moments Those when strength is a necessary tool And others when the smallest of success Gives me reason to cheer I never believe you to be gone Hardly notice the heap of years That I have amassed without your voice Without one more song and dance
