All Too Soon...

Cinderella by Stephen 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 [Pythian] castle
And I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
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 want to 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 the dress
She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away [May 6th]
And I need to practice my dancing
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 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 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 want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone"

Lately, I am becoming a lot more emotional about upcoming dates, deadlines, and events. Tomorrow, I am going on a trip to Truman State with my friend Molly to hopefully decide on where I want to pursue my educational interests for the next four years. Saturday is my last STATE music contest. I have the privilege of performing in two different ensembles!

THEN IT'S MAY.

Oh, how quickly time is flying. With the following events, I also have to keep IB tests in mind:
Tuesday: FIRST IB TEST
               Scholarship Banquet :)
Thursday: IB Banquet
Friday: PROM 2011

That's all I feel like talking about.
Night :)
