Mother/Daughter Dance

Okay, the other night I was driving home and caught the end of this beautiful song. I did not get the name or singer unfortunitly. But I was wondering if anyone would have a clue to what I am thinking of ...... If so, please respond.

The song talks about a mother and daughter dancing together and the mother thinking to herself if she could have one last dance with the daughters father. I was very soft music and sad if you listen to the words. I would love to have this song for my 'Mother / Daughter' Dance, but don't know the name...

Please someone HELP!
TIA
Anne

THAT IS A GREAT SITE, THANKS FOR SHARING

Was it Luther Vandross ' Dance with my Father' ?
Talks about wishing the Mother could have one more chance to dance with my father again?

Long shot but sounds like what your saying?

Me too.

These are the lyrics - does this sound familiar?

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
