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
