Steven Curtis Chapman — Cinderella lyrics

Lyrics

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
But 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 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
