There at the table my daughter and I
Just ate the last of my mother's pie
Its the fifth of december and I act like I don't know
Where it is she wants to go
She pushed back her chair and took my hand
Come into the living room and put on my
Favorite band
Dad its my birthday dont miss your chance
Ask me to dance
So I said dance with me
Dance with me Jen
I love to feel you in my arms again
Dance with me
Dance with me jen
I 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
Shes got herself a boyfriend who lives on down our road
His intentions, I dont know
On her birthday that same year
I went and put on that music she loved to hear
I said girl its your birthday I don't wanna miss my chance
I'm gonna ask you to dance
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 when she slammed the door
She 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 wheathering the cold
Too stubborn 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
Oh 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'd moved back home
He had her address and I drove all night long
Just to find that she was gone
It was 10 in the morning when I found out what she did
I left a note at the club
Got in my car drove home again
When she read it she cried alone
Hopped a bus and headed home
Cause 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
