Lyrics

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

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
