Oh so sweet...

I'm not sure how many of you have heard the song "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman playing on the radio lately, but it is such a sweet, touching tribute to the short time we all have with our kiddos. It made me think how much I appreciate my own parents, as well as how I need to enjoy each minute that I have Grayson. Granted, the song is about a father and a daughter, but it really is about that precious parent-child relationship. So, if you haven't heard it, here's a YouTube link so you can hear it... don't worry, it's only 4 minutes long. I promise -- you'll love it... and maybe even be a little teary-eyed! =)

Cinderella by 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 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.
