Dancin' with Cinderella

I stumbled across this song today and absolutely love it...I can see Hubby dancing in the living room with Punky and this brings tears to my eyes. Somtimes it is hard when Punky is crying or not obeying to remember that she will not always be this little and she will grow up so fast.

Click HERE if you want to hear Steven Curtis Chapman explain why he wrote this and click HERE if you want to actually hear the song. It is wonderful. I am so thankful for my little Cinderella.

(This is Punky dressed up in my wedding dress.)

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 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!"

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 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!"

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
