Lyrics

There at the table my daughter and I Just ate the last of my mother's pie It's the 5th of December and I act like I don't know Where it is she wants to go She pushed back a chair and took my hand Come into the living room and put on my favorite band Dad it's my birthday don't miss your chance Ask my to dance So I said dance with me Dance with me Jen I'd love to feel you in my arms again Dance with me Dance with me Jen I'd love to feel you in my arms again Several years later my daughter and I Can't get along no matter how hard I try She got herself a boyfriend who lives on down our road His intentions, I don't know So on her birthday that same year I went and put on that music she loved to hear Said girl it's your birthday don't wanna miss my chance And asked you to dance So I said dance with me Dance with me Jen I'd love to feel you in my arms again Dance with me Dance with me Jen I'd love to feel you in my arms again She turned her head and grabbed her coat She didn't look back and she slammed the door Took a bus down to Texas with that boy down the road Had no idea that he'd leave her there alone She was drinking her freedom and weather in the cold Too stuborn to come back home She finally got a job at a night time club She was dancing on tables for men she didn't love She thought if my daddy could see me now He'd never take me back no way, no how And how she longed to hear him say Dance with me Dance with me Jen I'd love to feel you in my arms again Dance with me Dance with me Jen I'd love to feel you in my arms again Found out from her boyfriend who lived down the road He left her in Texas and he moved back home He had her address and I drove all night long Just to fine that she was gone It was 10 in the morning when I found out what she did Left a note at the club, got in my car and drove home again When she read it she cried alone Hoped a bus and headed home It was that note it read Dance with me Dance with me Jen I'd love to feel you in my arms again Dance with me Dance with me Jen I'd love to feel you in my arms again
