Father's Day

A lot of people have been asking what song I danced with my dad to at my wedding. It's called Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman. I completely love the lyrics and the back story with my dad and I and these lyrics before I share the lyrics is one of my earliest memory is standing on my dad's feet and dancing when I was like four. Then for my 9th grade formal my parents showed up early to pick me from the dance and my dad danced the last slow dance with me. Then again my senior prom my parents came to watch the royality (that I was nominated for) be announced and before he left my dad dance with me again. So now you have the back story when you read the lyrics and I think it will be very clear why I picked the song!

Cinderella
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 want to 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 the 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 want to 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 want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

Happy Father's Day Daddy!! I love you!
