Disclaimer and Author's note: This will be an extremely long chapter. I own only own the plot, nothing more except for those things that you don't recognize. I wanted to set the scene and what you are listening to so I gave you the lyrics. I do recommend listening to the songs with chapter in the chapter before the last one if you want to go back and listen to it while reading is Go Rest High on that mountain by Vince Gill and Beauty and the Beast sung by Angela Lansbury. I hope that you do enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 33: The Dance Competition
"Are you ready, Cinderella?"
"You bet I am"
"For you, dad's out there, that maybe your daughter has her boyfriend or significant other out there. This one is for you and it is called Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle"
There are two things I know for sure
She was sent here from heaven, and she's daddy's little girl
As I dropped to my knees by her bed at night, she talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayers
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk beside the pony daddy, it's my first ride,
I know the cake looks funny daddy but I sure tried"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night
Sweet 16 today
She's looking like her momma a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl
To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world
But I remember
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayers
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"You know how much I love you daddy, but if you don't mind
I'm only going to kiss you on the cheeck this time
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night
All the precious time
Like the wind the years go by
Precious butterfly spread your wings and fly
She'll change her name today
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away
Standing in the bride room just staring at her
She asks me what I'm thinking and I just say "It feels like I'm losing my baby girl"
And she leaned over and gave me
Butterfly kisses
With her mother there sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle daddy, it's just about time
Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy
Daddy, don't cry"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right to deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night
I could've ask God for more that this love is
I know I've got to let her go, but I'll always remember every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses at night
When the song was over, the DJ said that he had another father/daughter song however he was going to wait and play that later. Syd saw that during the song Carter's eyes fell on her and her grandfather's fell on her mom.
"Carter, are you okay?" Dana asked him
"Yeah, I just already feel like I am losing her and she is not even married yet."
"Oh, honey"
"I will always remember when she was little she would run to our room every time there was a storm, to have me protect her or when there were monsters in her room. And how she would run to greet me every day when I came home from work"
"I know that feeling, but she still will run to you with problems and have you help her with her monsters, but she is growing up and she will have Sky to be there, you saw how protective he is of her."
"I know"
"Syd, we should play that song"
"Huh?"
"I just thought of what Cruger suggested to me earlier in the week."
"What is that Sky?"
"Well, he suggested In a few months that we should hold a holiday week in which we can invite all of our families to the base and have things going on for the people of new tech such as doing the Christmas carol, The Nativity, the story of Hanukah, and now a holiday ball"
"Wow, who are you and what have you done with the real Sky? But anyway that sounds like fun, I can help plan"
"Actually I was thinking that you would do a majority of the planning of it, and I helped"
"The next song" said the DJ" is a dream is a wish your heart makes"
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving if you keep on believing a dream that you wish will come true,
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're feeling small
Alone in the night you whisper thinking no one can hear you at all
You wake with the morning sun rise
To see fortune that is smiling on you
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know tomorrow a dream is a wish will come true
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heart aches
Whatever you wish for you keep
You wake with the morning sunrise
To find fortune that is smiling on you
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know tomorrow a dream that you wish will come true
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing a dream is a wish will come true
As the last song finished, Sky kissed the top of his Cinderella, and thought I'm certainly glad that my dream and wish did. Sky recognized the next song as measure of a man done by Clay Aiken.
If one day you discover him
Broken down he's lost everything
No cars, no fancy clothes to make him who he's not
The woman at his side is all that he has got
Why do you ask him to move heaven and earth?
To prove his love has worth
Would he walk on water?
Would run through fire
Would he stand before you?
When it's down to the wire
Would he give his life up to be all he can?
Is that? Is that? Is that how you measure a man?
If by chance all he had to give you was three words
Wrapped around your finger
Would that be deep enough at the end of every day?
And how will you ever know if a man is what he says
Why do you ask him to move heaven and earth?
To prove his love has worth
Would walk on water
Would run through fire
Would he stand before you?
When it's down to the wire
Is that? Is that? Is that how you measure a man?
He never gives up
He lets go of his dreams
His world goes around for his one true belief
Is that how you know? Is that what it means?
Would he walk on water?
Would he run through fire
Would stand before you when it's down to the wire
Will he be your anchor when the dark unfolds?
Will he always love you the best that he knows
Would he give his life up to be all he can?
Is that? Is that? Is that how you measure a man?
Would he walk on water?
Would he run though fire?
Would stand before you when it's down to the wire
Would he give his life up to be all he can?
Is that? Is that? Is that how you measure
Is that? Is that? Is that how you measure a man?
"That was Measure a Man, and now I am told to say that we now only have eight couples left in this competition. The next song is another song that is slow, but ladies tend to enjoy it called Tell Him followed up by Broken Vow, but there is one song that maybe popular with quite a few of the older couples and maybe some even new ones and it is Puff the magic Dragon. Enjoy."
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah lee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal puff and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh,
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee. Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sails
Jackie kept a lookout perch on Puff's gigantic tail
Noble Kings and Princes would bow whenever they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name.
Puff, the magic Dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
A Dragon Lives Forever
But not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys
One great night, it happened
Jackie Paper came no more
So Puff that mighty dragon
He ceased his fearless roar
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend Puff could not be brave so Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped in to his cave. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
Sky looked down and saw a little tear roll down Syd's face.
"Syd, what's wrong"
"My dad used to sing that song a lot to me. I guess I just miss it that's all"
Sky wiped the tear away and kiss Syd's forehead.
"Well, Dancers and Ladies and Gentleman, we now only have four couples left and they are: Ryan and Nancy, Dana and Carter, Bill and Susan, Sky and Syd, Beth and Quinn, and Tobias and Jodie. The next song is Tell him. "
I'm
scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I
tremble when I speak
Oooh - what if
There's another one he's
thinking of
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can
be so cruel
I don't know what to do
I've been there
With
my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can't
let the chance
To love him pass you by
Should I
Tell
him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach
out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold
him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give
yourself
Touch him
With the gentleness you feel inside
Your
love can't be denied
The truth will set you free
You'll have
what's meant to be
All in time you'll see
I love him
Of
that much I can be sure
I don't think I could endure
If I let
him walk away
When I have so much to say
I'll
Love
is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It's
a steady flame that grows
Feed the fire with all the passion you
can show
Tonight love will assume its place
This memory time
cannot erase
Your faith will lead love where it has to go
Never let him go
"We are now down to our top four couples. The couples are: Ryan and Nancy, Carter and Dana, Beth and Quinn, and Sky and Sydney. The top three couples will win some marelvous prizes and each couple will win the prize on the level that they finish. The Next song is Broken Vow. "
Tell
me his name
I want to know
The way he looks
And where you
go
I need to see his face
I need to understand
Why you
and I came to an end
Tell me again
I want to hear
Who
broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own
I
let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I
let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More
than a broken vow
Tell me the words I never said
Show me
the tears you never shed
Give me the touch
That one you
promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time
I
close my eyes
And dream of you and I
And then I realize
There's more to love than only bitterness and lies
I close my
eyes
I'd give away my soul
To hold you once again
And
never let this promise end
I let you go
I let you fly
Now that I know I'm
asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep
somehow
More than a broken vow
Sky didn't want the dancing to end since he loved dancing with Sydney. He then heard the DJ say that it was between Beth and Quinn and he and Syd. Sky had seen Ryan and Nancy leave because they were both exhausted and were hurting, followed quickly by Carter and Dana. Sky was grateful that the last song that the DJ would probably be the last song of the competition was a slow song so that meant that it would be slow yet again since he was carrying them both almost or at least what it felt like. The last song was a favorite for both he and Syd called the last unicorn.
When
the last eagle flies, Over the last crumbling mountain
And the
last lion roars, At the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the
forest, Though she may be old and worn
They will stare
unbelieving
At the Last Unicorn
When the first breath of
winter, Through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north,
And a pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying, And
would leave the world to mourn
In the distance hear her laughter
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive....... I'm alive
When
the last moon is cast, Over the last star of morning
And the
future is past, Without even a last desperate warning
Then look
into the sky where through, The clouds a path is formed
Look and
see her how she shimmers, It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive... I'm
alive!!!!
The DJ turned out to be correct because they heard the DJ declare them the winner and a lady came over told them that they now could leave the dance floor.
