I walk through my front door She's right there like the day before Saying "Daddy, please, play with me" Right there in the living room In a ponytail and ballet shoes I spin her 'round, she says out loud "I wish this song would last forever" Dance baby dance I don't ever wanna leave this moment Dance baby dance 'Cause right now I know I'm the only one Baby dance, dance baby dance, baby dance And one day she'll pack up to leave She'll kiss her mom and then kiss me And say "Goodbye, Dad, are you alright?" I'll just smile and tell her "yes" And try to hide this big old mess Inside my heart as she starts the car That's why I wish this song would last forever Dance baby dance I don't ever wanna leave this moment Dance baby dance 'Cause right now I know I'm the only one Baby dance, dance baby dance, baby dance And I know there's gonna come a time When she'll be there all dressed in white And I'll take her hand for one last dance Dance baby dance I don't ever wanna leave this moment Dance baby dance 'Cause right now I know I'm the only one Baby dance I don't ever wanna leave this moment Dance baby dance 'Cause right now I know I'm the only one Baby dance, dance baby dance, baby dance Baby dance
