文档介绍：Dance with my father
Back when I was a child,
Before life removed all the innocence.
My father would lift me high,
And dance with my mother me then
spin me around till I fell asleep.
then up the stairs he would carry me,
and I knew for sure I was loved.
if I could get another chance,
another walk,
another dance with him.
I'd play a song that would never ever end.
how I love love love,
to dance with my father again.
when I and my mother would disagree
to get my way I would run from her to him.
He'd make me laugh just fort me,
then finally make me do just what my mama said.
later that night when I was asleep.
He left a dollar under my sheet.
never dreamed that he would be gone from me.
if I could steal one final glance,
one final step,
one final dance with him,
I'd play a song that would never ever end.
cause I love love love,
to dance with my father again.
sometimes I'd listen outside her door,
and I'd hear how my mother cried for him.
I pray for her even more than me.
I pray for her even more than me.
I know I'm praying so much too much.
but could you send back the only man she loved.
I know u don't do it usually,
but dear lord she's dying
to dance with my father again.
every night I fall asleep this is all I ever dream.
Love you, son.

To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could stand, and he turned to alcohol4 for help. In time Al became an alcoholic5.
