Dancing with Cinderellas

Saturday was our Annual Father-Daughter Valentines Dance. Jody took and danced with the two most lovely Cinderellas there.

We've recently heard a song by Stephen Curtis Chapman entitled Cinderella. It will put into perspective how quickly they grow up and bring a tear to most daddy's eyes. You can listen to it here http://video.aol.com/video-detail/steven-curtis-chapman-cinderella/2091518691

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!"
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

She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of her dress
She says, "Dad the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancin'
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 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!"

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

Posting the blog this morning, I ran across this photo of Jody and the girls two years ago before the dance. My my, how quickly they grow up!!
