I love this song and it makes me cry every time I hear it because I heard why he,write the song. it is such a sad story and I send my thoughts and prayers to Steven and his family.
I heard awhile back that this song was about the death of a little girl? she was outside one day and her brother was pulling out of the driveway in his car and he ran over her? That's similar to what the story is about, right?
Ok if I was 21 I would have this in my wedding but I'm not that age yet and I don't have anyone I love except there is only one guy in my life an that's my dad I love u dad
this song is so sad every time i hear it i think of my friend who lost her best friend 4 years ago and she made a tribute video for her and used this song
My daughter just sent me the link to this, and told me she wanted this to be our father-daughter dance at her wedding. OMG, I bawled like a baby. I don't stand a chance!!!
I just love Steve Curtis Chapman. "Go There With You" and "The Great Adventure" are also awesome songs.
this song really does have an important meaning that became so much more important to 2 daddies in our town this last september.
their baby girls didn't make it past 18 and 20. they had just left to go see a movie like they always do. and they just hit a wet patch in the road and that was that. they hydroplaned and hit a truck. and they were both killed instantly.
appreciate your baby girls because they don't have theirs anymore.
This makes you realize how important your mother and father really is I lost my mother in April of 2003 and now my Father has been fighting cancer for the past 3 years and I can image what I will do without him.True fathers stand by you through the good times and bad.So ,I just wanting to remind everyone how important your Mother and Farther really are because once their gone its never the same
I used this as my father daughter dance in my wedding. My dad hates to dance in public so, by the end my mom joined us and we had a family dance to make him more comfortable, but the fact he danced with me on my special day infront of everyone ment a lot, Love You Daddy!!!
The Pope is the anti Christ, he changed the Sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday, he claimed God gave him this right. Daniel said the anti Christ would think to change Gods times and laws. The pope burned and tortured millions of Christians, Daniel said the anti Christ would kill Gods saints and overpower them. The pope came out of the divided Roman empire and called himself God and the vicar of Christ. Daniel said the anti Christ would exault himself as high as JESUS the anointed one.
This makes me want to cry because I did the same thing when I was little. I am a major daddy's girl. I love my daddy and idk what I would do without him here. <3
@NeoAndyDS Nothing wrong with being a metalhead. Does being a metalhead imply you can't like pretty sentimental songs also? As for the Atheist thing God still believes in you. This isn't a Christian or religious song at all in my opinion so I see nothing inconsistent with you liking it.
@TristanandIsolt Yeah well, thing is I like this guy in general, not just this song. I like a lot of his actual religious songs. I think I like this guy for the same reason I should hate him, as ironic as that sounds. I just don't like how some people use God as an excuse to move on, but for some reason I like it on him even thought I believe he will be highly disappointed in the end. I don't know if you know, but he lost a child before. Must be one of the most painful things in the world.
@TristanandIsolt (continuation. The post box is so small). I also appreciate your words. "Even if you don't believe in God, he believes in you". I obviously can't agree with you, but thanks a bunch for being one of the few believer who don't label me as a bad person just because I am an atheist.
I love this song me and my dady alway cry a little wen we here it! On my qensenyeta idk how to spell it I will dance with my dady to this song! I LOVE U DADY!!!!
I just LOVE this video....EVERYTIME I hear it I cry.......when I hear this song I think about my own daugther & how quick time has flown from the time she was a newborn baby 2 a young adult with children of her own. This is really an awesome song..........Thank you God 4 giving this 2 Steve Curtis Chapman & Thank you Steve 4 being an instrument 4 God 2 get HIS LOVE & PEACE out 2 the nations.
@MrGoldenhero And I think I know the reason why you think so. It makes you almost cry, and if your friends saw that you like this song, it would embaras you. You would be seen as weak. Well let me say that as a guy it us alright to mourn. In fact, it shows that you actually do care for others, and people appreciate that.
I am missing my beautiful 6 year old daughter right now....we just listened to this song together over the phone and both of us cried. My wife and kids are helping friends out of state for two months due to health issues. My daughter already told me that I am going to sing and dance with her to this song at her wedding....lol
I love this song. The Christian station plays it a lot. and it frustrates my dad because he doesn't understand how it's relevant to Christianity. But either way, it's my plan that this will be the father/daughter dance at my wedding reception.
i'm getting married on august 28th 2010, and my dad was the one who heard this song first.....he tells me he tries to listen to it everyday to build up an immunity to it so when we dance at my wedding he doesnt cry....so cute.....cant wait for next august ;) love this song.....i might need to build up an immunity to it as well :)
I love this song! My husband and I are expecting baby #4, we have 3 boys and I know how much he wants to have his little "princess"! Don't know if it is a boy or girl yet, might have one shot after this one at a girl. Otherwise 4 or 5 princes would be just fine!!
went to see him on Saturday in concert...he played this song...i cried...it happened to be the anniversary of my older brother's death, my mom was with me at the concert, he was 6 when he passed, I was 2...it was so touching to hear him speak about the tragic incident and to play the song...absolutely beautiful...death separates us...but only for a short while, one day we'll be with my brother again, and Steve will dance with his precious Maria again also!
look Alicia I don't know you but know we all have sad moments or times in our lives, see this guy S.C.C. he lost one of his daughters and had every reason to blame God but he didn't. All I can tell you is God has an answer for your problem you only have to truly seek Him, give God a chance and if you need help am sure anyone of us will be happy to help. Blessings.
i love this song!! at my aunt and uncle's wedding, i got to dance to this with my grandpa. My uncle planned it all out it was the flower girl so cute) then me , then my aunt. in the end my uncle came and got her. it was so pretty!!
This has to be the saddest song in the world. It's about his daughter, who passed away as she was accidentally struck by her brother pulling out of the driveway. Hopefully this gives the song a little more meaning! It gets to me every time. It's great at least that he can tell the world her story in what's probably become his greatest hit.
I'm not saying your theory about God is wrong, but from what I heard ( so you can believe or not, you can choose), he was quite annoyed with his adopted children behaving silly - as most of the parents do.
But his daughter one day came back and said about her marriage and he realised how quickly children grow and wrote about that, remembering about love and don't forget...clock will strike mid night one day.
I'm just saying that, yes it refers to that. But it also goes with his daughters story too..
when he says "The clock will strike midnight and she will be gone" Well, his daughter is gone for good. And shes never coming back. its just so sad how he had no idea she would die..so this kinda relates to that too... =(
I went to austin last year to see him and got the surprise caleb and will franklin were there then could not believe the tragedy that eventually happened.
i love my dad to when ever i hear this song i can picture him and me dancing to this im only thirteen and ive gone through abuse i just want to dance with my daddy i want him to see me grow up and now when ever i hear this i stay up all night in a corner of my bed against the wall crying because all i have now is my imagination i can see me laughing me&m daddy dancingbecause ima princess and mydad the ownsthe castle andeveryone comes tothe bal andwatch us dancei stay up allnight crying
OMG i was crying b/c i thought my dad didnt spend enough time with me and was too stressed out with work and bills and stuff... i also cried b/c God was letting him know ahead of time that she would be gone... i think that is sooo amazing.. but i am so sorry.... and i wish that you had ana amzing dad who loved you.. but you can always remember, God is the perfect father.. and he does love you more than ANYTHING keep up your good oving strength(: you go mattloverer(:
look god doesnt love me he damned me to my life and doesnt give a fuck i wish i could have been someone else god doesnt love me he doesnt even care he could care less...and my name is alicia
Haven, it may be hard for you to understand since your life is not turning out like you hoped right now, but God does love you and has a plan for you. When you are tired of running and living the way you are now and feel empty and used up inside and don't know where to turn, just find a place to be alone and talk to Him. He is always listening, and you will be able to hear what He is saying to you if you really stop long enough to listen. I know you probably don't care right now, but someday...
When the Prince met Cinderella, he didn't know that she'd be gone at midnight. As parents, he's reminding us that we know our children grow up, so don't miss the moments!
i don't like my father, but my step dad and i danced to this at my father daughtr dance, i am glad i have my step dad cuz my bio dad was never near me for the first 12 years of my life til my parent devorsed..=[ so my step dad is my dad
almost the same thing happened to me. my grandpa and i used to be best friends, but then when i turned 6, he "devorced" (he's too cheep to pay for a real one) he left! He came back last year, and he's pretending like i know him!! He missed like, half my life and he doesn't spend time with us. He's dating some slut now... my step-grandma actually respects us
i just saw him at Women of Faith and he sang this and i cried bc he has such strong passion for God and it comes out in his music even though his daughter dies he has the streanght to sing this and help people .
My daughter is getting married May 30 and this is the song...she just doesn't know it. Said I get to pick it. Just trying to figure out how to hold the tears back now...
this song is really sad since his daughter died... but he will be able to dance with her one day when Christ comes back and takes him home to see his little girl.
its amazing he can still sing it. Its realy weird that he wrote this song about her before she died and if u listen to the words it sounds like he wrote it after she died, expecialy the clock will strike midnight and shell be gone part.
He DOES still sing Cinderella! :-) He says it's because he knows he WILL dance with his youngest daughter Maria again someday ~ in heaven.
He wrote the song for ALL 4 of his daughters including his oldest, Emily (22), who just got married on 10/4/08.
For those who don't know about the tragedy, his 5 yr. old little girl died after being accidentally run over in the driveway by her 17 yr. old brother.
They have 6 kids (3 by birth & 3 adopted "princesses" from China)
The first time I heard this, I was at a wedding. The mom was singing it to her daughter, it was so beautiful. I love this song -3

when he says "The clock will strike midnight and she will be gone" Well, his daughter is gone for good. And shes never coming back. its just so sad how he had no idea she would die..so this kinda relates to that too... =(

Haven, it may be hard for you to understand since your life is not turning out like you hoped right now, but God does love you and has a plan for you. When you are tired of running and living the way you are now and feel empty and used up inside and don't know where to turn, just find a place to be alone and talk to Him. He is always listening, and you will be able to hear what He is saying to you if you really stop long enough to listen. I know you probably don't care right now, but someday...

i love this song!!
but what does he mean when he said
"i know something the prince never new" ??? cuz i dont get that part so if you let me know that would be great!

in my opinion, maybe that means he knew his daughter(cinderella) a lot than anybody else..^_^

When the Prince met Cinderella, he didn't know that she'd be gone at midnight. As parents, he's reminding us that we know our children grow up, so don't miss the moments!

almost the same thing happened to me. my grandpa and i used to be best friends, but then when i turned 6, he "devorced" (he's too cheep to pay for a real one) he left! He came back last year, and he's pretending like i know him!! He missed like, half my life and he doesn't spend time with us. He's dating some slut now... my step-grandma actually respects us

this song is really sad since his daughter died... but he will be able to dance with her one day when Christ comes back and takes him home to see his little girl.

Avi4eva 3 years ago
He DOES still sing Cinderella! :-) He says it's because he knows he WILL dance with his youngest daughter Maria again someday ~ in heaven.
He wrote the song for ALL 4 of his daughters including his oldest, Emily (22), who just got married on 10/4/08.
For those who don't know about the tragedy, his 5 yr. old little girl died after being accidentally run over in the driveway by her 17 yr. old brother.
They have 6 kids (3 by birth & 3 adopted "princesses" from China)
