Nas - Dance lyrics

One more time, one more time
Uh, one more time uh, one more time

I dream of the day I can go
Back to when I was born
Layin' in your arms, wishin'
You was here today, mom wish you'd appear
Just for a second from Heaven
My tears would be gone
I wouldn't be rappin' this song
I'd be happy drivin' up
To your eight-bedroom mansion up late
Laughin' about the hard times we faced
The galaxy is so enchantin' beyond
Galileo's understandin'
Past the Milky Way and all the planets
There's somethin' out there greater
But only God knows
Scientists claim we came from apes
But they lies though
That was part of our conversation
I spark one up and start blazin'
Thinkin' of how amazin' she was
An angel gave me love
I'm thankful to ever know a woman so real
I pray, when I marry
My wife'll have one of your skills
But Mom, you could never be replaced
I'd give my life up just to
See you one more day, to have

One more dance with you, Momma
If I could only have
One more dance with you, Momma
Praying, wishing that I could have
One more dance with you, Momma
If I could only have
One more dance with you, Momma

I wish you were here
I miss you more each second I breathe
You resting in peace, forever
I accepted you free a blessing to me
I see you dressed in all white
Smilin' at me, happy
Knowin' everything's all right
If only I could hear your
Voice and your laughter just one more time
My chest would be filled up with sunshine
April 7th '02
That's when the gates of Heaven opened up
For you to stroll through
Beautiful Anne Jones
Job is done, raising ghetto kids in the hood
You was my strength to carry on
And now I'm good job well done
You lived through your sons and grandchildren
Jesus finally got his bride, Mommy
Dance with him!
And you've been my guide through
All the trouble I faced
They playin' our song, the life-beat
My hand on your waist
I grab your other hand
I'm tryin' not to step on your toes
Spin you around with my eyes closed
Dreaming I can have

One more dance with you, Momma
If I could only have
One more dance with you, Momma
Praying, wishing that I could have
One more dance with you, Momma
If I could only have
One more dance with you, Momma

I love you forever, Mom
You will always live through me, always
Uh, uh, uh, yeah
