~Cinderella~

This is the song that was inspired by Steven Curtis Chapman's two youngest daughter's Maria Sue and Stevey Joy that were adopted by the Chapman's. Maria died yesterday at age five in a tragic accident. It is obvious that she will be a greatly missed little girl.

Another reminder to me to not take my children for granted, to cherish each moment. This is a reminder I need often as I have a hard time "stopping to smell the roses."

My prayers for comfort and peace are being lifted up for this family...

Here are the words to the song Cinderella:

She spins and she sways

to whatever song plays

without a care in the world

and I'm sittin' here wearin'

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.

So I danced with Cinderella

while she is here in my arms.

'Cause I know something the prince never knew.

Oh, I 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 the dress.

She says, Dad the prom is just one week away

and I need to practice my dancin'

Oh please, daddy please.

So I danced with Cinderella

while she is here in my arms.

'Cause I know something the prince never knew.

I danced with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song.'

Cause all too soon

the clock with strike midnight

and she'll 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

and I need to practice my dancin'

Oh please, daddy please.

So I danced with Cinderella

while she is here in my arms'

Cause I know something the prince never knew.

I danced with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song'

Cause all too soon

the clock will strike midnight

and she`ll be gone.
