One thought I remembered as a little girl

Was my Daddy dancing with me

Standing on his shoe tops as light as can be



I was always thinking of how hard it would be

Until he gave me that look

Then he'd wink at me



He made it so easy to slide across the floor

because he was guiding me

That man I adored



I will miss you forever, always and more

That little girl

That danced across the floor
