Cinderella......

Cinderella……

January 26, 2008

Driving around in the car yesterday I heard a song on the radio by Stephen Curtis Chapman www.stevencurtischapman.com called “Cinderella.” Being at wedddings every weekend you start to see certain themes and trends come and go, and first dance/father-daughter dance songs are no exception.

If you’re planning a wedding and still looking for the perfect song to dance with your father to, you HAVE to listen to this one! I would not be surprised if this song become THE father-daugther dance song for the next several years.

She spins and she sways to whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I’m sitting 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 dancin’
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
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don’t want to miss even one song
‘Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she’ll be gone

Verse 2:
She says he’s a nice guy and I’d be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, “Dad the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancin’
Oh please, Daddy, please!”

Verse 3:
But she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowin’ and tellin’ us all they had planned
She says, “Dad the wedding’s still six months away but I need to practice my dancin’
Oh please, Daddy, please!”

She’ll be gone.
