4am and I am bored...

I came to see her daddy for sit down man to man

It wasn't any secret i'd be asking for her hand
I guess that's why he left me waiting in the living room by myself
with at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf

[Chorus;]

She was playing Cinderella
She was riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
In her eyes i'm Prince Charming
But to him i'm just some fella
riding in and stealing Cinderella

I leaned in towards those pictures to get a better look at one
When I heard a voice behind me say "Now, ain't she something, son?"
I said "Yes, she quite a woman" and he just stared at me
Then I realized that in his eyes she would always be

Playing Cinderella
Riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
In her eyes i'm Prince Charming
But to him i'm just some fella riding in and stealing Cinderella

He slapped me on the shoulder
Then he called her in the room
When she threw her arms around him
That's when I could see it too

She was Playing Cinderella
Riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
If he gives me a hard time
I can't blame the fella
I'm the one who's stealing Cinderella


I love this song. Its like 4am, and I am waiting on laundry to get done so I can toss it in the dryer and go to sleep. Finally. You would thing if I had stayed up this late I would have gotten a lot of studying done, but no such luck. Really, now I am motivated, but I know I won't remember anything I study this late. So its going to be an early morning for me tomorrow, getting up and studying, stepping out, dinner with the girls, and then more cramming... I have 150 pages of marketing research to get through tomorrow, and then 4 chapters of advertising and 4 chapters of management information systems to get through sunday. wooo tests. 

I'm really excited about life right now. Several specific things, but especially life in general. A bunch of stuff that has been on my mind is really starting to work out (mainly school/grad school)... and things finally seem to be going better in general. I think the rain really makes me appreciate the sunshine, and boy was I glad this week to wake up and see the rainbow!!! Its been a tough season, and I know that life in general can be tough, but I feel like I am walking away so much stronger... not in my own strength, but in His.
