Precious

Todd and Katherine just got home from their first daddy-daughter dance rehearsal! Katherine was so so excited!! They showed me their dance and it's SO cute! When I read the lyrics to the song they're dancing to I got teary eyed:

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
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, oh Daddy please

So I dance with Cinderella while she is here in my arms
Cuz I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella, I don't wanna miss even one song
Cuz all of 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"


So I will dance with Cinderella, while she is here in my arms
Cuz I know something the prince never knew
I will dance with Cinderella, I don't even want to miss even one song
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone. She will be gone

She came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowin and tellin us all they had planned
She said Dad the wedding's still 6 months away
I need to practice my dancing. Oh please Daddy please

So I will dance with Cindereall while she is here in my arms
Cuz I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella, I don't even want to miss even one song
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone.
