Cinderella - Steven Curtis Chapman

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»

So I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

'Cause I know something the prince never knew

Oh, 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?»

So I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

'Cause I know something the prince never knew

Oh, 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 will be gone

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?»

So I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

'Cause I know something the prince never knew

Oh, 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
