Steven Curtis Chapman写给去世的女儿

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
