Cinderella: )

As a little girl my favorite movie was Cinderella and I was always dressing up and dancing around pretending I was her. I remember always wanting to dance and play Cinderella with my daddy. When  I heard this song by Steven Curtis Chapman, it made me cry because it seemed as though it was written for me. As I watched saw him and his wife on tv the other day talking about their little girls death I feel so sorry for what him and his family are dealing with right now. This song is such a beautiful song to me. 

She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders

It's been a long day
And there's still work to do
She's pulling at me
Saying "Dad, I need you

There's a ball at the castle
And I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

Chorus:
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oooooh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone...

She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of her dress
She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

chorus

Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"
