My Princesses

In April I attended the Women of Faith conference in Columbus and had the amazing opportunity of seeing Steven Curtis Chapman sing his song 'Cinderella' live. It quickly became a favorite song of mine and when Jaden and Sienna started playing dress up together over the past week or so I couldn't help but think of the lyrics to the song. So enjoy my princesses and S.C.C's beautiful lyrics...

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'll dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

'Cause I know something the prince never knew

Oh I'll dance with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song,

Cuz 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!"

She will be gone.
So I'll dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I'll dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song,
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

Well, 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'll dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

'Cause I know something the prince never knew

Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I'll dance with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song, (even one song)

Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight

And she'll be gone

Jaden & Sienna, you are growing up so fast. It seems like yesterday you were each infants in my arms, and before I know it we'll be taking you to your first days of school, watching dance recitals, teaching you to drive, shopping for prom dresses, applying to colleges and then helping you plan your weddings. Your Daddy and I will cherish every single moment along the way, and we will always be here to help you practice your dancing. We love you!
