[Verse 1]
Dmaj7                       Asus2
When I was a little girl I spied
on my mom and dad
G                      Dmaj7
After they sent me to bed
Dmaj7                      Asus2
Heard the music play soft and low
G                           Dmaj7
A sweet old-time waltz that flowed
Dmaj7             Asus2
Dad touched Mom's hands as he led

[Pre-Chorus]
D              A               Bm
Across the floor they danced by
D              A               Bm
The moon shining down in their eyes
              D E7
And they'd fly

[Chorus]
A            F#m
Dance with me darlin,
            Bm
 he said
  E7
The children are asleep
       A
 in their beds
F#m                         C#m
We can fly through the sky like
 the stars in your eyes
G
And our love will go on
      E7
without end
Bm
So dance with me darlin',
    E7   A
he said

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7
When my dad walked me down
             Asus2
the aisle with a sweet,
 reassuring smile
G                     Dmaj7
He gently gave me away
Dmaj7
Then after I said my vows,
             Asus2
we stepped through
the party crowd,
G
'Time for our dance'
               Dmaj7
he would say.

[Pre-Chorus]
D          A                  Bm
Across the floor we danced by
D           A                  Bm
My wedding dress swirling so high
   D      E7
As we fly

[Chorus]
A              F#m
Dance with him, daughter,
       Bm
 he said
E7
May your groom give you
               A
 love without end
F#m
Dry the tears from your eyes,
                         C#m
hold you close all your lives
G
With a love that goes on
         E7
 without end
Bm               E7
Dance with him, daughter,
        A
 he said.

[Verse 3]
Dmaj7
In the blink of his hazel eyes
   Asus2
the years quickly passed us by
G                              Dmaj7
Dad left this world to his rest
Dmaj7
Still my mom joins him every
   Asus2
 night in dreams she and
 he take flight
G
He holds her hands
          Dmaj7
 once again.

[Bridge]
C#m              D
Love never dies
G
Hearts go on through the
               E7
dance of time so

[Chorus]
A                F#m
Dance with me darlin,
            Bm
he says
  E7
The children are asleep
    A
 in their beds

We can fly through the sky
   C#m
 paradise in our eyes
 G
And our love will go on
       E7
 without end

So dance with me darlin,
            A
 he said

Dance with me darlin, he says

The children are asleep
   A
in their beds

We can fly through the
       C#m
sky paradise in our eyes
 G                           E7
And our love will go on without end
Bm                  E7
So dance with me darlin,
           A
 he said
