Our prayers are with you and all of the Chapman family. Thanks for sharing her and your special relationship in your song.



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 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 to 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'd approve of a 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 to 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 due six months 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, (even one song)
Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight And she'll be gone

Did you know that God can turn a situation around on a dime. The question is, whose dime? Yours or His? My notes from Associate Pastor at Grace church when he gave the sermon 'On A Dime".
