Steven Curtis Chapman - Cinderella (Music Video and story)

[@chelsaroo6106]

I prayed for a sign from my daddy today who passed away last year because my bf wants to get married but i always looked to my daddy for his blessing and not even an hr after praying i went to get something out of the car and i turned the radio on and this played

[@annrussellross6790]

Sweet

[@JulianKish]

God is good! i hope you have a blessed marriage and youre still praying!

[@ghunter0815]

Not gonna lie. This came on my radio while driving to work this morning, and I just started tearing up. I pray my daughter (only 19 months now) will always ask me to dance with her.

[@liongirlone]

My daughter is getting married in the fall, and her father, and I are going to surprise her with this song for the father and daughter dance. She does not know this song, but she always pretending that she was cinderella as little girl. I know she will love it!!! Very excited about it! Thank you Stephen Curtis Chapman for you beautiful music!! You are such a blessing to everyone!!!! Liongirlone

[@bromega2477]

My new father-in-law did the same thing at my brother's wedding.

[@abra.kadabra.alakazam]

I usually don't write comments but as this comment was made 11 years ago i am writing this so that maybe you get a KZbin notification and you get back to this song and relive some memories I hope everything's going well for you ❤ @liongirlone

[@stoxmama]

My 24-year-old son died in a car accident, and this beautiful song soothes my aching souly. Please don't worry about Maria Sue. Danny will look after her in Heaven until you get there. God bless your family, and please keep up your inspiring music.

[@alittlebitdangerous]

this is the most beautiful song i've ever heard in my entire life. I'm 20 years old and i live in Argentina, and i wouldn't have been able to heard this song without the help of the Jonas Brothers, because i have the amazing lucky to be their fan and they played this song with steven curtis chapman at one of their shows. thanks steven if you read this sometime, for writing the most beautiful song that has the power of making me cry everytime i hear it.

[@laurengggg]

omg this is the best song i feel so bad for the Chapman family losing 1 of their children. i can't believe that this was a lullaby for the girls. Steven is such a great singer. i hope he keeps writing songs because i know i will listen to them and love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ilovetruffles99]

this is so sad because Maria died two years later in a tragic accident, he almost vowed to never sing this song again he was so heartbroken, but he still sings it...:)

[@AmmoGirl913]

This song was played by Steven Curtis Chapman at Fusion Alaska 2007, and I cried and held on to my dad so hard and I was sixteen! This proves, to all you teenage girls out there, that you are always going to be your daddy's little girl!

[@LanaiAlexis]

I danced with my dad to this song at my sweet 16, it's such a beautiful song. And every time I listen to it I cry because I love my dad so much and I'm so happy to have my dad around. -3 such a beautiful beautiful song.

[@heatherhopem]

I love this song SO much... My dad and I have this very special relationship, and he went into the hospital this summer right after my birthday and I could not keep my composure so I had to lean on GOD for strength. He was fine but was in the ICU over night and I can't imagine my life with out my earthly father I can't wait until I get to dance with my heavenly father. DAD I love you sooooo much.

[@AJGOLDEYES]

You gave that young girl a life she would not have known otherwise, Her short life was full of love and we know you took the time to enjoy those moments. To all your family we pray and offer our support. You have Blessed us with your Talent its our turn to show our appreciation. Thank you for showing us how to live a life of fullness.

[@JanineAJ9]

Thank you for this song; I have chosen this as my father-daughter dance selection at my wedding in a couple years. My father is not alive, but I wanted him in a way represented. I will be dancing with my father's brother, then my godfather (mom's brother), and finally my [by then] father-in-law. In a way, I'm representing my own father through these other fatherly figures in the dance. Thanks again for a beautiful song; makes me cry every time. God Bless.

[@randomipod4]

This song always makes me cry. I'm really close to my dad and I've already decided that this is the song that's going to play at my wedding for the father daughter dance. My mum showed my dad this song and she told me he was starting to tear up. I love you dad!

[@utinker]

This is my favorite song...I know I need to slow down and make as much time for my little girl as possible, if not more. I know she will be gone someday and I need to cherish all these moments I have with her now. Thanks you so much for this song Steven. You make us all realize what is important. AMEN

[@buggyapp]

My son got his cinderella this weekend as her daddy danced with her to this song. It was the dance of a lifetime and you could see it in their eyes. Thank you for your gift to him. I raised him as a prince for her and he is worthy of her hand and heart.

[@BEADS1784]

This was my father/daughter dance song at my recent wedding. There is a collection of wedding dresses called the Disney Fairy Tale collection and I was wearing the Cinderella dress...it was a really special moment, beautiful song!

[@VirgieJ87]

I lost my dad 7 years ago to cancer... My best friend danced with her father to this song at her wedding, and I cried my eyes out.

[@dilardi]

Thanks for writing this song. My daughter is now 16 months old and since she was about 2 weeks old, I have been dancing to Cinderella with her in my arms every night before bed. Now she is starting to sing along to the words. Thanks for letting me realize how to slow down and enjoy these moments.

[@krsmitty14]

One of my friend's dad died this summer in a weight lifting accident. She requested this song on our local radio station in memory of him about an hour ago. My thoughts and prayers are always with you Celeste, Rebecca, and Nathan. Your father would be so proud of you. We miss you, Mark, but we know we'll see you in heaven someday where Rebecca can dance with you again...

[@brookiesp2010]

26 people dont like father/daughter bonding. how can someone not like this song? this is the song im gonna dance to with my dad at my wedding. this song is good.....wait not good, extremely great!

[@shannon1664]

Our prayers are with you, your family, and especially your son. May God help him mourn without the infection of guilt. Thank you, Steven, for your messages, your ministry, your songs and your spirit. We'll be waiting patiently when you are finished taking care of you and yours.

[@aria531]

My heart is with you...I lost my son 11 years ago. God is able, He is our strength. It is through and in Him we grieving parents find rest, peace, mercy and grace. I am praying for all of you. Theresa - Bradenton, FL

[@jrbungit]

SCC is the greatest Christian song artist of my lifetime. I grew up in the 80s listening to Stephen. It's unreal that he's still authoring such great lyrics and music. Stunning. God bless you and your wife Stephen. You are a gift to us all. So glad I shared this side of heaven with your music.

[@Lunaria17]

I practically cried since I remember my dad when he used to put me in bed whenever I fall asleep in the couch....even if he was rarely home. Now he had a minor surgery and I was already in another country. I called him before the surgery started and he wished me a happy birthday....this song touched my heart so much...

[@s2bcytangel17]

My dad and I are dancing to this song at my wedding in October....it makes me and my dad cry every time we here it. I'll always be my daddy's Cinderella-girl!

[@writestuffla]

Steven has been a brilliant musician for decades, but this is his crowning achievement thus far. I lost two immediate family members within a year. The difference between my family and the Chapman family is that Christ is the center of their family, and mine wasn't. The Chapman family is still together, and mine isn't. It's been blown apart. Stay close, Chapmans. My heart and prayers go out to you.

[@ShootingStarStudio]

I cry every time I hear this song. It's so beautiful. Maria is dancing to this in Heaven

[@Luvisloser60]

God bless your family at this time. My daughter is getting married next year and she had picked this song for her wedding dance with her father about two weeks before the accident. It was already very moving...now I just cry when I hear it. It's such a strong reminder to treasure our family and friends.

[@kLm2708]

the first time i heard this song was at my friends wedding for her father daughter dance.. it brought tears to my eyes.. my daddy is my world.. he is my best friend and my everything.. i cant wait for the day i can walk down the aisle with my daddy by myside and then have my father daughter dance.

[@cobaltsteel11]

I heard this song before SCC lost his daughter, and then I thought it was amazing..... Then, his daughter died, and it truly makes me sit back.....and think about how life is truly a GIFT. I know we can't run a thousand miles a second to catch every second, however, the most precious gifts in life are those little amazing gifts from GOD.. SO, hug em tight as you can, kiss em as much as you want, and love em with all your heart......before you know it, they will be all grown up..... GOD BLESS

[@FreeToDance6]

Steven, MaryBeth and Family, Thank you for giving this precious child of God the love of Jesus Christ for the wonderful few years that you have had her. Jesus is kissing and healing all her owies in heavan and preparing her for when you will be together. I will pray through tears for you, your son, you other children, and for her young friends that will learn about greif way too early in life. God never forsakes us.

[@StevenJanice]

Thank you! Our prayers go out to Steve & his family for the tragic loss of his Cinderdells. In Messiah's Love, Steve & Jan

[@emanubano]

Mr. Chapman, I have always wanted to meet you. I a, one of seven children and three of my siblings are adopted from China. We have two little girls and a boy and I must say that you inspired my parents to adopt. Thank you. Because of you I have three wonderful siblings that I can love and all three have accepted Christ. Keep on singing.

[@MrAggies2015]

Breaks my heart every time I hear this song. Such an amazing family for Christ.

[@samanthaneal1521]

Call me crazy but I love Steven Curtis Chapman music so much I have over 190 of his songs on my playlist on my phone

[@sharonesears]

Cry cry, I love my daddy, but he didn't take much interest in my life, other than making sure we had what we needed, of which I am very thankful. The song is what I want for my Children and Grandchildren. I need a GOOD husband tho, mine is very selfish and needs a heart change. Oh, and he's divorcing me BTW. Thank you for the Beautiful Song. I relate it to my Heavenly Father who REALLY LOVES ME!!!!! Please pray for my kids and the many who have not had good parents as examples. GOD BLESS YOU!

[@anibalhernandez77]

Every time I hear this song I cry and remember my 3 1/2 years old little girl....Jannia Ailanie...my Cinderella. Thanks Steven for this song !!!

[@edwinagolding164]

fifteen now, wow

[@zowsley16]

My dad went to high school with Steven Curtis chapman and was in a talent show with him. I met him many times and he is a very nice guy. This is my all time favorite song from him.

[@SunnyFloridaWoman]

May God forgive you for this comment. The little adopted angel he wrote this for died shortly after he wrote the song. The world needs more fathers like this one. RIP little Cinderella Maria

[@bheathman1]

My favorite Steven Curtis Chapman song is "Lord of the Dance." This song gets me to thinking though because I have 5 daughters who are all Cinderellas. I also think about all the girls who had dads who didn't treat them like Cnderellas, like my mom and sisters. Remember Jesus our King wants to dance and very soon!!!

[@janalglaz]

Just what I needed to hear right now.I was feeling quit sad thinking of my Beloved husband(Alvie) Who passed away in March(he was 62).Thank You Steve! Great Song,all of them.

[@linda4him1959]

This song always makes me cry because...my daddy died when I was 6...I'm 51 now...and I still miss him...

[@Jenna358Lynne]

I cry when i hear this song. I love my dad sooo much. Im so thankful i have a dad and i couldnt imagine what its like not to. But my dad gets really upset over stuff and is always asleep due to his nightshift as a police officer. I want to spend more time with him before my time as his baby girl passes. Love you dad -3

[@broadwaystarzinc]

my dad sang htis once, becasue he's a musician, and i sat there crying he entire song... i love htis song so much, and its truly a reminder of how much our parents love us, so trust god and honor your parents, because you never know how long you have with them - a.w.

[@kui10]

The story of Steven Curtis Chapman's family has changed my life (from today) and i thank God for sending an angel to introduce this family into my life..

[@mindysue77]

Dear Friends in the Lord Seven years ago our family lost our 7 year old granddaughter. She was precious and loved to swirl in pretty dresses. She wanted to be a doctor. She became ill suddenly and we lost her so quickly none of us were prepared. I can only tell you that time does ease the ache in our hearts but our family has and never will be the same. We love you all. Perhaps little Maria is playing on golden streets with our little Delanie Lynn.

[@dreamwalker16]

love this song! my cousin and his wife just got married last weekend and this was the song that his wife and her father danced to for their father-daughter dance, it touch me so deeply i started to cry.

[@vdubmovieguy]

I just saw Steven perform for the first time last night with Michael W Smith. What an awesome show! I was never a big fan of Steven until last night. What an amazing man! He is truly a blessing. He has made a new fan! I hope God continues to use him as a blessing to otheres.

[@j0y0u5]

You showed love to a girl who otherwise would never have known love like that. We pray for you in this time of sorrow, but we also believe with you that she is now in a much better place, and that you will be reunited soon one day. May God's Spirit of peace, encouragement, and love for you be felt more than ever through this time.

[@tjm5150]

The heart and soul of every U S Marine in the world cry with you Steve,we are with you forever, Semper Fi Cinderella.

[@NicoleClarkAKPoptart]

Wow...I've listened to this song four times today and I start tearing up EVERY TIME. Such a beautiful song...

[@lap465]

Steven: I have been praying for you and your family. I know your heart is still broken...and only the lord can fix it. I showed a maria video tribute to my friend in China and told him that you adopted 3 chinese children and he couldnt believe it... He was so touched... He had never seen that side of America before...Thank you for opening your heart to Maria and I hope you will find a way to do it again...

[@MissAthenaGirl]

My little sister had her quincenera last night and for the daddy/daughter dance I chose this song to dance to. I almost cried, but I danced with my godfather and I had to try to keep the tears back!

[@Ellen5e]

God is using you powerfully to remind us to "slow down" and invest the time in memories that will endure long after our perceived "work" is done. Thank you for the reminder of making the most of what God so graciously shares with us!

[@lilsis1400]

Thank you Lord for always giving even when you've taken away!!! Instead of feeling like they'll never see their baby girl again they know that they'll see her in heaven; beautiful and perfect. You put a song in his heart and a lifetime of knowing whats to come and what he'll see when he goes to heaven. GOD ROCKS!!!

[@cptnsfti]

At our camp talent show our cabin did this. I was a teenager with 2 of the best Leaders as "Fathers" I cry every time now.

[@madison1297]

Reminds me of my grandpa. I love him so much and he knows me better than anyone. I don't think he's scared of me growing up, but rather me scared of him growing older... and sicker.

[@wordsrlikerain]

Sweet, I'm the first to see this! Very good music video, Steven, made me cry here and at the concert...

[@RJVACC]

Very touching song. I can't wait to get home and dance with my 7 year old daughter who loves dancing with me!

[@dollkn1]

i'm lifting your family up to God because i don't know the words to comfort your family but i do know the words of prayer!

[@oriolesandravens]

I have DJ'd a fund-raiser for a friend of mine at her church, using this as the theme: Father?Daughter dance; Mother?Son dance for a few years. I cry every time I play it. Every time. Yes; I said Every Time. I'm crying now.

[@eileenod]

I danced With my dad to this song at my wedding as well. I had to listen to it before so I would not start to cry...

[@rwentz1000]

as a potential song for our daughter and my husband to dance to at her wedding, I am crying as I watch this...it's great.

[@morphine3kisses]

This song really gets to me, it's defiantly my favorite song. It makes me think how much time flies past you.. so fast I barely noticed. I'm already at the prom days, next is marriage. I miss you daddy, last dance we had was long ago when I was going to the ball. Now you lay with God. The years may pass but I'll never forget you. I love you so much, wait for me and we'll dance in Heaven. R.I.P 8-15-05

[@EquineLover123]

omg...I cry EVERY time I hear this! Its so sad! and so beautiful :'(

[@Dklew9418]

This song is like the best song out there! its so touching and sad. Dont we just wish we all had a dad like steven Curtis Chapman?

[@Jenchol]

I think this song is so sweet. It really makes me appreciate my dad. This is so relevant in today! People, appreciate your parents!!

[@ladyElle3]

I played it many times... i remember my dad...even though he is not here i love him...and really miss him...

[@kimberbrook27]

I have always loved this song. the first time i heard it i decided that i want this to be played for my father daughter dance when i get married. every time i listen to this i picture what it will be like to have a dance with just my dad, all to myself.

[@mhelenaf1980]

i'm sorry for your lost. she is with the LORD now, a place where all of us want to be one day. GOD bless you and your family.

[@DeyaniraFuentes]

i used this song for my 15 birthday and everybody like it and its my favorite song i hope you n ur family are all allright

[@aliciadye]

i just saw him at women of faith! loved him before but now, wow....words cannot express..its like he spoke straight to my heart. He is definitely doing God's service. Love you SCC

[@OntCanGuy]

In 1995 "Sometimes He Comes in the Clouds" was included on the "My Utmost for His Highest" album. SCC probably recorded that not knowing he would need those lyrics more than the public. That song helped me so much in my time of need, and I hope SCC finds healing in his music too.

[@twaceyloo]

This is going to be the father/daughter song at my wedding in November... it makes me cry everytime

[@Lillyacg]

this song really touches my heart and it makes me cry each time i hear it because i know tht my dad is never going to do tht with me before i marry one day....because he left us and its been so far 5years and he just won't gve in to GOD and now im 19yrs old and now all my hopes of him coming back are fading away evn more....but its a wonderful song!

[@wildclover2000]

When I hear this song I think of Steven's children, particularly Maria, who is no longer with us, and I'm not able to keep the tears away. Incredibly beautiful song!

[@hernan0225]

This is the most tragic thing that I have heard...I am a father of two beutiful dauthers of 6 and 2, and I can never imagine the pain you must be bearing. The Lord is truly our guide and our hope for healing. God bless you my brother!!!

[@MunckyBoy]

This is the only song ever that actually makes me tear.

[@punkrkr392]

i never had a dad. the closest thing i had was my grandpa and he was everything to me. he was better than my real dad could ever be. but i never got to dance with him, even when i was going to the ball. he left me too soon when i was 10 years old. i know he's dancing up there in Heaven but it still hurts... i love you papa. 3/16/02

[@icybear1]

my worship pastor asked me to sing this at our fathers day service.

[@elliearenas]

This song makes me cryy .): Iwanted o dance this the day of my quince with my dad but he wasnt there

[@emiowiner]

This Song Makes me cry. God Bless You Steven Curtis Chapman.

[@iloveCrowfeather]

Oh my god, I swear, that was one of the greatest songs I've EVER heard...

[@marinesrock101]

It is my dream to dance this song with my baby girl. I will need a backup tux because that one will be soaked in tears. God bless you and your family Steve. I look forward to meeting Maria some day.

[@redheadbrockoliaim]

Everytime I hear this song I feel like crying because my dad and I used to be really close....then my parents got divorced, he moved away, and we grew apart...now we're only getting farther and farther apart. I just started bawling when I heard that Maria died. I was on the music boat 2008 and had just come out of a rush of fools concert

[@someonesmamma]

I am so sorry for your loss, God keep and comfort all of your family until you are all together again in heaven ~ a mommy in Indiana

[@platinumcowboys]

this is truly a man who knows what it is to have daughters...I do not but every time I hear this song I close my eyes and imagine...and cry....

[@Ajah73]

I really love this song and I just heard it 2 hours ago and I love it! I heard it on an app called "tuned" and it's where u have to guess wat song is playing and when I found out who Sang this song I fell in love with it and tommorrow is my birthday and I'm turning 11 I can't wait!!

[@NikkiJonas15]

this is the most beautiful song i have ever heard. every time i hear it i start crying.

[@trycatchangler]

I love this song, it reminds me of my beautiful baby girl. It God's gift for which I could never thank him enough. God bless you Steven and Family!

[@cbb5babiigirl]

Amazing song. So sorry for your loss, I think from this I learned that I never want to lose a second with my dad. God bless you and your family in this time of sadness. Remember that she is with God and he is taking care of her. =]

[@Blessings2UForever]

SCC is so the real deal. I admire this man sooo much.

[@Reeeeeehe]

@Meggymoo200018 This song was published before his daughter died on that accident, this song was originally about cherishing the moment before they grew up, now it's that plus cherishing the moments before they are gone

[@zarinagirl]

I love this song... I just found it and listen to it many times a day... It's just such a beautiful song... I wish my dad would realise I might soon be gone and grown up...

[@fostersdf]

STeven, this is perhaps one of the top 3 strongest and most meaningful songs you have ever recorded , at least to me. As a father of 2 daughters, I cannot listen to it without tearing up, knowing they will one day be grown. I was at your Colorado concert in Arvada, and remember the story behind this song's writing- Thank you for being such a strong and worthy voice for Christian music-

[@edwinagolding164]

wow, its been 13 years, how are you and your daughters now? good i hope 😊❤

[@hxckristy]

Since i was little, ive been set on having "butterfly kisses" as my daddy daughter dance at my wedding.. but after hearing this song i have completely changed my mind :) this is it! now to figure out what song i will pick for my stepdad...

[@JonasBrosFan17]

So I heard about this guy and song on this Christian radio show I listen to. I heard the story behind the song. And I didn't remember who sang the song earlier when I heard this song. So I looked it up (: This song is so touching. It tugs at your heart and I cried when I heard the story. I have this song on my Myspace, it's truly a great song.

[@MichaelaLynnn]

I Cry When I Hear This Song. I Understand It Too Well. He knows his daughter Will grow up, get married, and leave.

[@sraphael]

This is such a beautiful song! It is so touching. I actually thought this song was written for and dedicated to his youngest daughter, Maria Sue, after she had passed away. Then I realized that this song was written and performed before the tragedy occurred. How incredibly sad and eerie at the same time. How tragic that Steven thought he'd lose his children to the world as they grew into adults but all he describes will never happen for his youngest child. So so tragic :( RIP Maria

[@auntieshellybelly]

Just got home from his concert in Tucson Arizona. What an amazing song. He is such an amazing person.
