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 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 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!"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I will 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 will 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 will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I will 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

I LOVE this song but since he lost his little girl I can never listen to it without thinking about how sad and tragic it is for him and his family...I end up tearing up because it breaks my heart. It would kill the whole mood....

I danced with my step-father to Nat/Natalie Cole's "Unforgettable" My dad had passed away 9 months before our wedding. I was blessed to have my "father" there with me though. LOVE him!

When my daughter gets married she'll have to pick 2 songs, one for her daddy and one for her "father", my DH, who has been the main male presence in her life. I plan on a mother/daughter dance as well. "I Hope You Dance" always kills me and makes me think of her every time I hear it!! Her and I danced to "Brown-Eyed Girl" at my wedding since I would sing that to her when she was a baby and has always been our song How do they grow so fast...??? God Bless you for going through this with two!!
