[roadrunnerprincess]

Ive loved this song from the 1st time I heard it! I love SCC so much anyway!! Ive lost two babies, both under the age of 6 months old so I can totally relate to this song. I tear up everytime I hear it but I know Im so blessed with my beautiful and sweet 3 yr old and that we all will see my babies in Heaven God bless the Chapmans so much and Praise God for that whole family!!! I <33333 them and their music :-)))))

[jayxlee1]

Loved the video:)

I lost my son in car accident last year, he was only 3yrs old. I miss him so much. And I can't wait to dance with him in heaven some day. Mami and Daddy love and miss you so much Jayden...

[bcmguy]

@jayxlee1 So sorry about your loss. I'm glad the video meant something to you.

[TheBadRobot112]

[thelindsayrose05]

This song was so touching when it came out and then what happened to Maria it was almost like it was a revelation for him ,,,It just breaks my heart If I lost my son I wouldn't know how to live

[SingingFFAGreenGirl]

I'm going to dance to this song with my dad at my wedding. It is sad that the world had to lose such a precious little girl. She would have been a beautiful amazing young woman. I know that she is in heaven dancing to her hearts content. May she rest in peace.

[bryanbrandon4]

then I come home and look it up only to find this sad story.

[Mikeysmonkay]

She was a precious little girl. She's dancing with Jesus now.

[birds16ful]

[jessicachapdelaine]

i couldnt even come close to watching

the whole thing without crying!

she was such a beautiful little girl

full of life and fullof love!

god bless you sweet little angel!

[ILOVEGOD4EVER13]

i am like bawling my eyes out right now...i am sooooo sad

[PHATHCOX]

I know this precious little girl is with God now but my heart still breaks each time I hear this song. I can't even get through it anymore. It was tragic enough for Maria Sue to be taken in the accident but to learn that her brother was the person who accidentally killed her. I can't begin to imagine what this has done to him. I pray one day he can find peace in his heart and know God is still there loving and watching over him and his family.

[thejonin567]

i not easy to make cry and this song tuched me and i cried

[VVga]

Soon it'll be 1 year since this tragic accident.. let's not forget to pray for this family !! God has truly used them in a unique way !!

[RaiKimfan62294]

poor Maria! the world lost an adoreable little girl, but Heaven gained a beautifull new angel. i can't imagine how it must have pained them =(. if only he knew whene "the clock would strike midnight". RIP Maria, Heaven's little Cinderella.

"bye toodles!" =(

[RaiKimfan62294]

poor Maria! if only he knew how true those last parts of the song would be. Maria is dancing with Jesus now. i can't wait to meet her in Heaven. RIP Maria, our little Cinderella.

"cuz all too soon, the clock will strike midnight, and she'll be gone."

[evovenon]

OMG she is SO cute :'( im so sorry for wat happend to her :(

[cuhle73]

this is beautiful

[rissailybabe]

He didn't write Cinderella for his little girl who died.

[Onasariel]

He wrote a song for each one of his children, before she even died. This is the one he wrote for her.

[princessmadd]

No, He wrote it for his oldest daughter because of what she used to do. Go to Cinderella Music Video and story and it'll say everything about this song.

[hiiwatchaaupp2]

actually, he wrote this song about maria & stevie joy, his two youngest daughters. they were in the bath one night and he needed to hurry, but of course they wanted to play. after he got them in bed and he started thinking, he wrote this song.

[mialicious123]

Lsn to the verse that goes and she came home with a ring on her hand....

dad the wedding is only six months away...

he obviously wrote it for his eldest daughter cuz wat kind of four yr old child wud get married?

[gymgirl179]

This is so sad. Bless her family

[folsomfamily]

This is a beautiful video. I sat here in my office and just sobbed throughout the video. My wife and I lost our 3 year old daughter in March of '08 and it is so incredibly painful. Jillian was totally disabled and I was not able to dance with her as an active participant. I would just hold her and dance around the living room. I never knew that a person could feel this much pain. This was such a powerful video. God bless this family and help them during this time.

[mstddybr]

I just sobbed along with you. God bless you and your family as well. I can't begin to understand your pain. My heart goes out to you.

[deigo223]

oh my gosh.

[RenGirlForever]

I broke out crying

I didn't know his daughter died. I will always from now on when I hear this song I will always cry now. It is so sad.

[2kaye]

I'm sat here sobbing uncontrollably. She truly is an angel too perfect for this Earth.

I cant imagine what the family is going through but my heart goes out to them.

This video has been very tastefully done.

My daughter is 3yrs old and I treasure her, you never really know when 'midnight' is going to come around.

[bcrok12]

she is beautiful!! she used to sing praises about jesus.. now she is singing them with him(:

[Jesuslover427]

sooooooooooooooo sad

[kimburleeboo]

This song is amazing.

I can just imagine,

Dancing to this song with my own father once my wedding comes around.

My heart goes out to you Chaplin family.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

But you have nothing to fret about,

She's in heaven,

&& You'll see her someday,

I promise.

[BlueBomber45]

she is my sister it is realy hard on us i love her very much.

[sleepoverfreaks]

yeah sure

[judithbarsifan]

i saw a comment you wrote and you said her family must be sad

[achenault5]

maria was one of the cutest children ever and i am so sorry for your loss. i dont personaly know her, but in the videos she always had a smile on and she had a heart of gold. i wish she could have grown up so the world would have truly known all that she could have done. my blessings are truly with you.

[gottaluvarchie]

I love this song!! I feel sooo bad for the family!! She looked like such a Happy litte sweetheart! She was Beautiful!! ♥ God bless you Chapman family! praying for you guys...

[gottaluvarchie]

I love this song!! that has to be soo hard on the family.....she looked like such a sweet, happy little girl!! she was beautiful! ♥ God bless you Chapman family -

[tinkertaylorsoldier]

Please stop forgiving. A life ended and time continues. The Lord gives and He taketh away. Sometimes he takes all a person's hope so that they have nothing left! Sometimes he leaves a man with nothing. Sometimes he leaves a man with a test of faith that most cannot pass. A test of true devoutness! I cannot pass, i stumble and I am lost....

[surladoshortii]

Yea that is true but theres no need to be so heartless about it. I GARUNTEE if you lost your mom/dad/sister/cousin WHOEVER like how he lost his daughter YOU WOULD NOT BE SAYING THAT! Garuntee it.

[Datreyco]

ok 1.the very first linde doesn't make any sence..."Please stop forgiving." umm it's greeving not forgiving...and 2.His 5 year old daughter died go have a kid and when it dies at 5 ((not saying i want it too or that it will))lets see how you would like it if someone said something like that about the little child that you loved so much!!

[woot720]

i love this song! Maria seemed like such a sweet little girl, i wish she had grown up, but she's in a better place with jesus. i feel sry for the guy that hit her, that would make me feel so bad!

[arashiandfurubalvr]

god bless you chapman family! i hope you know my heart goes out to you! well im glad your little girl is now in heaven!godbless you

[rockerchik818]

this just mad me soo...sad when i saw this i wanted to start crying.when she said be to everybody oh my gosh i almost started balling. =( rip maria sue chapman

[RaiKimfan62294]

i know =( Maria saying goodbye makes me cry.

[RaiKimfan62294]

this rly made me cry. poor Maria-Sue! may little "Cinderella" rest in peace! the last part were she said goodbye hit me the most. RIP "Cinderella"!!!

"...the clock will strike midnight, and she'll be gone."

[RaiKimfan62294]

RIP little Cinderella angel. such a short life she had. such a sad way to end her life. RIP "Cinderella"!

[jink4rules]

i feal so bad for steven...he must have loved her very very much....it must be very hard for them

God is so amazing and its unbeliveable what he has done for us...i had a friend who passed away from cancer...but i know that shes dancing with Jesus and Maria...and everyone else. God is amazing

[sglashower]

As a mom of 2 adopted children and 4 bio children, my heart goes out to the Chapman family. It is only through the grace of God that you are able to get through something like this. I pray that God will give you peace in knowing that He is with you every step of the way. May this be a testimony to the world that healing comes from a true relationship with God. God Bless, Sue

[misocutegirl06]

this was done very well !

[archiemakesmesmile]

This video made me cry.. nice job on it.

Such a tragic story.. I feel so bad for the Chapman Family

[hottgirl09876]

What hapend to the Chapman family? I just heard this song for the first time today.

[bcmguy]

their daughter maria died when her brother accidently hit her with their vehicle

[RaiKimfan62294]

his 5 year old daughter got hit accidently by a car 10 days after her 5th birthday. very sad story.

[jink4rules]

amazing video

this song makes me want to cry, its so great

[Datreyco]

only if he new how true those lyrics wood become on sad tragic day but our loss is heaven's gain

[youwlove]

her accident was so sad. she's in heaven now watching over her daddy and the rest of her family. my heart goes out to them.

[kidcole74]

I've been trapped in drugabuse and haven't been there for my little girl all the times she needed me. From now on I see it much clearer. God Bless the chapman and to you, little cinderella in the skyes. You've given me more than words can explain. Say hello to Jesus from me, thank you for all you have given me.... Lotsa kisses and hugs from me, David from Sweden

[bcmguy]

Wow - Praise God this video affected you so much. That makes it worth all the work I did to put it together!

[kidcole74]

I'm speachless..... This has moved me to tears, and I haven't cried for years. In a strange way this has made my faith stronger, God sure has a plan with everything. And this little angel he took home to soon. But even I who haven't practised my faith for a very long time belives this little angel is dancing with Jesus. I just wanna tell the chapman family that noone has ever made me wanna praise the lord this way, I also have a doughter, she is 3 and I will treasure each moment from now on.

[cheeseboy1513]

you could tell her dad loved her very very very much!!! rest in peace little cutie!!!

[emanfritzkraut92]

I heard this song not long ago and fell in love with the song. I wanted to find out about this song and the author.

Only to find out that his daughter had passed away in a tragic accident a day before my 16th birthday and Maria just had her 5th birthday celebrated not long before the tragedy.

I feel sad for Steven.

Maria IS alive and IS in the arms of Jesus.

For Jesus said.

"I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believes in me, will live again."

[potter4president]

I just watched the LKL with SCC and family video. If you have a chance, take a look at that video(just search for it on youtube). I am praying for the Chapman family.

[mgmed01]

i just heard this song at a wedding the other day and fell in love with it. i did not know what happened until i searched here. i havent stopped crying since. my heart goes out to the whole family. god bless them all. i believe maria is truly an angel and is waiting for her family patiently next to jesus

[suzanne654]

I am so very sorry for your loss. I see you are going to be in concert with Michael W. Smith. I wonder if you could come to the Mpls. St. Paul MN. area. What a thrill that would be. I know Joel Hanson and I asked him if he knew you . He said yes. I said he should call you. He laughed. Thanks, Diane

[widewatersgirl]

My five yr old son was born the day before Maria on 5/12/03. I can not imagine the pain of losing him. I saw SCC in concert at Biltmore on 8/01/08. He and his boys were a walking, singing, playing testimony of pure faith.  God bless this sweet loving family. Mary Beth and Emily also have conveyed such faith on GMA and LKL. Amen.

[Jrichert11]

i Saw Him in concert last night at my county fair and it was amazing to see how strong God has kept their family. She would not want us to be sad but to be dancing and Steven said right now she is dancing in Heaven.

[Luchia789987]

this video was took sad i cried my eyes out until they were redddd......

[Luchia789987]

is her dad singing ???

[xmemegreenx]

Wow. I dont know what to say...I dont even know Maria Sue Chapman and i miss her. May God be with The Chapman family.

[RockFish1975]

I would have given my life if she could still be here!!

[RockFish1975]

Satan you have lost as so many, many unbelievers have been drawn here because of this awful tradgedy that you composed, and so many have been led to the Lord, and You LOSE!! She is with Jesus and so many more will also be with Him because of this!!!!

[havefaithalways]

Today Orlando Z88.3 played Cinderella and said it was the anniversary of sweet Maria's short life here on earth ending. She truly lives on. I'm this to every man I know who has daughters. God did have a plan with her life, which is to show others how precious time is. How a father's love for his daughter should be cherished and not ever to be taken for granted. May God's loving peace be with the Chapman family today and aways.

[AnastasiaFan365]

My grandfather died the day she had had her b-day

[luvmycatz]

the end clip made me cry so hard

[nickjonasbabedoll]

awe

[randyjsing]

Oh my Mighty God! I can't bear this...I can't stop crying...

My 7 year old daughter and my 11 year old son is joy!

God is so good...there's no doubt, I just have a hard time with this...feelings can't express how I feel when I found out about Steven's tragedy...I pray that his family will be healed in a mighty way...I'm sorry for all the "I's"...It's just painful yet faithful that God has a plan for it all...

[raerae1985]

In the arms of Jesus and watching over her family.

[morningxglory1]

oh my goodness. I am bawling like a baby right now! my little sister looks just like her and I couldnt imagine losing her. My heart hurts for his family <3 I was thinking about dancing with my dad to this song at my upcoming wedding but I dont think I could do it without crying!

[zaedith]

woO stoOii bn coOnmoOviida

[Akly9]

before i heard the tragic story i just thought this was just a pretty little song...but RIGHT after i heard Maria's death i knew this song was more then....i literally cryed!!!!

R.I.P.

[blackwidow4911]

I just recently heard this song and it brings me to tears everytime I listen to it. I have always called my daughter a princess and this song describes her and her dad and the love that they have for each other. You just never know when you might loose a loved one. God bless their family and help them through this.

[stinkyfeet124]

My heart breaks for the Chapman family, however I believe she is now in Heaven. I pray for the best for their family!

You will be missed Maria! :-(

[sportychic89]

I agree completley with blueeyedbaby210, if only he knew what those words would now mean a year later... :(

[missdaisy0320]

I think he originally wrote this song for his oldest daughter who just got engaged... but after this accident, it is more than ever for maria.

[x0xbeliverx0x]

i pray that god stays with there family they rely need him he has helped me many times i know he will help them

[lilkellykitten]

is it true his older son hit her?

[Nine00]

It's so sad. He has no idea how true the meaning of that song would become when he wrote it :(

[skywatch008]

That is about the sweetest and most sincere thing I will ever see in my life. The most beautiful song I have ver heard in a dad expressing his love for his daughter.

[sparklystuff79]

I feel like I mourn with the family. Following the Chapman family for his entire career, its almost as if they are part of my family as well. I literally have had tears pouring for two days since seeing this video.

[hmong209]

this song is soo sad..and also when i heard

it..it almost made me cry...even if i am just a teenage i can still relat too it

not just me but also everybody that comment you...and also if i don't believe in god

i still believe that there is hevean up there

and also yeah...hope the best for the

CHAPMAN FAMILY.....

[dellen01]

I'm a 32 year's old, single father of an 11 year old little girl. I first heard this song on the radio yesterday and my daughter found this video on youtube today. I watched the video and tears are running down my face. My heart goes out to the family. RIP Maria

[eadufah20]

Fathers please take notes. it is sad but most fathers now, abuse their daughters.Please love them because you only have them for a moment and then they are gone. Thanks Maria.

[OhItsErika]

some fathers abuse their daughters but not most.

[blueeyedbaby210]

cause all too soon

the clock will strike midnight

and she'll be gone

if only he had known just how true those words would be

[SierraElizabeth1]

this song made me cry, and then when i was reading the comments and i found out that she DIED, it made me cry for the longest time (i still am)

[MercyFallout]

Such a young age...very touching and sad. A girl full of so much potential. Rest in peace Maria and may your spirit dwell amongst the angels and our God Almighty.

[chocolate314]

this is suh a touching video.

omggggg. i cant stop crying.

i hope their family is well.

[chocolate314]

omg.

i cant stop crying.

[chocolate314]

omgggggg.

i couldnt STOP crying while watching this.

i will keep steven curtis chapman&his family in my prayers.

[ashleynichole3]

The first time i found out about maria's death i cried for so long. Pray and Pray to try to help this family.<3

[zoegirl1974]

This is the song that me and my sister are dancing with our Dad to at our weddings this summer. Our family is praying for the Chapman family in their time of sorrow. My God wrap his arms arround you all.

[nikkidee300]

Please join me in praying for healing for this precious family and that God will use this tragedy to bring many people to Himself. Also, let's pray that the son who was driving can experience complete peace in his heart.

[blueeyedbaby210]

that song is to true. it will now have a whole new meaning. i feel so sorry for her brother.

[brooke52basketball]

aww...shes so cute!

its so sad just watching this!

does anyone know what she died from?

and how old was she when she died?

[blueeyedbaby210]

her older brother hit her with the family SUV backing out of the driveway. she was 5, she had just had her birthday may 13 and died may 21. it was very sad.

[hmong209]

nice song...love it....every emotional...

[rocker123103]

She's dancing with the angels now i remeber when i first herd i was mortified she was such an angle i will miss her and that poor boy he must be really depressed now but i guess it was her time im still crying that poor thing God bless the chapman family

[sweetescape93]

i know mi am praying for them

[timmzerdude]

Oh my gosh. Bless her heart.

[mistirain3]

I have been sitting here crying for over an hour. I had not heard about Maria's death. I read it in Us Magazine :( Thank you for this beautiful tribute. Rest in peace little Maria - know that you were loved by many all over the world. You will be missed. Have fun hanging out with Jesus till your Mommy and Daddy get there.

[carmondiaz]

what a great video

[bcmguy]

thank you!

[biadbioy]

So if God came to and said Im going to give you a child but I only going to let you have her for 5 years would you take it? I would

[SoftBall3Strikes]

God bless Maria, let him keep her safe in his arms, shes was a sweet little angel.

[07maki07]

Poor Girl, god bless her.

[07maki07]

While she is in heaven, let god always be with her.

[veelighted7]

Irony: that she says "Hasta La Vista" at the video's end. And how Dad recorded this song..it was for her. IT was literally for HER: Maria. : (

[veelighted7]

when I was a child, my brother died and it's been over thirty years and my mother never fully recovered. I pray for peace because they have to learn to live with this tragedy--all of them, for the rest of their lives.

Jesus please give them peace. Peace. Peace. Peace in Jesus Name.

[BenderRodriguezRox]

did you know the family? Are you family? She's in God's hands, and in your heart.

*~God Bless Her~*

[bcmguy]

I do not know the family. Just felt like I was supposed to make this video.

[GreenArrow007]

What a beautiful lil girl,now shes with god and soon the chapmans will join them....

[mandylicous]

just cryn all time thats soo sad oh god :'(

[mrsfitness78]

Times like these teach us to stop for a moment...breathe...and have a big fat laugh with the ones that we love...Peace & Blessings be upon you and all of your families. :)

[webkinzfanz12345]

Gods got her in his arms saying welcome home home my little angel Your home. God well help this family and will give them comfort they will heel from it the brother mit not for awhile but God will help him with it.God has a great little beautiful little girl with him. God Bless you all!! webkinzfanz12345

[beachlzrd]

BEAUTIFUL - the Lord has a beautiful angel!

[tinaolivero]

she was really cinderella for his daddy.. his sweet little girl.. and she was only five year full of life

[Ballerinagirl80908]

Amazing video!! It's such a coincidence that he says in the song "The clock will strike midnight and she'll be GONE!!" Oh my gosh I cried when I listened to this!!

[eileenandjerry]

Is it a coincidence or a Godincidence that your precious baby came into this world and left it in the month of May (Mary's month), and was named Maria (chosen by God)? I believe our heavenly Mother, Mary, is cradling your Maria. I have 4 adopted children, 2 from Korea, and my youngest one's name is Mary too. I have always been inspired by your adoption work, and believe God's plan in all of this is that through this tragedy, more precious babies will find homes.

[eileenandjerry]

Continued...I pray for your family and especially for your son, that He may know that what has happened was all in God's plan. He just helped God do His work. We can never change God's plan. God bless you all.

[loveisacross]

Always know that God has a plan in all of this,you may not see it now,but He does.Your son will be used of God in a huge way.How true,the Prince always knew!!!Jesus holds Maria Sue now~~~What a precious thought!!Suffer the little children to come unto me....You have to receive the gift of God's saving grace as a little child would.We are after all called His children and He treats us as such.

[AtarahDerek]

That's so sad. Turns out the Prince always knew. Now He dances with Cinderella.

[VMkoe]

very nice video ! Thanks!
