Daddy'sCinderella



Cinderella-Steven Curtis Chapman

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 danced with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I danced with Cinderella
I don't wanna 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 dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I danced with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I danced 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 danced with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I danced 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

有点伤感的一首歌。

原以为是一个他守护她她的王子不是他的故事。
后来才发现
那捉紧时间与灰姑娘共舞的是她的爹地。

记得到泰国念书前
爸妈的一个朋友曾告诉我说,
我爸其实比我妈还舍不得放手让我出国

回来后我爸还是和以前一样
什么事都想帮我安排帮我处理。
自己已经不止一次在两国的机场来回跑了
回到家要从吉隆坡搭车到柔佛的时候
他还是硬要到巴士上检查我有没有在车上才肯回家。

不知道这是不是代表老爸和灰姑娘的爹地一样
即使一早就知道女儿终究会离开自己
却还是不想错过任何一个可以照顾女儿的机会
不想错过任何一支可以在十二点以前和女儿一起跳的舞。

亲爱的老爸
让我早几天跟你说声父亲节快乐吧。
