A beautiful song by the Christian rock band Point of Grace titled "King of the World" has direct ties to a new children's book titled "Dance Me Daddy." Barnes & Noble's synopsis of the book states the following:
“If I am your princess, then you are king of the world.” Singer and songwriter Cindy Morgan celebrates the love God blesses between a girl and her father in this picture book that families will treasure from childhood to wedding day. Includes a CD of the song King of the World performed by Point of Grace and author Cindy Morgan reading the book. (Source: Barnes & Noble)

Spinning around on the tops of his feet
smile of the angels can not be so sweet
wide blue eyes and piggy tail swirls
shes her daddy´s girl
cuz he knows the jokes that always make her laugh
takes her for ice cream instead of her math
at the end of the day by the light of the moon
they turn up the music in their living room
and she yells
dance me dance me around till my feet dont ever touch down theres nothing better than being your girl and if i am your princess then daddy you are the king of the world
its funny how life moves in circles of time to think so long ago that face was mine houses get smaller we take different names but some things in life stay the same
dance me dance me around till my feet dont ever touch down theres nothing better than being your girl and if i am your princess than daddy you are the king of the world
some day she go off and find a life of her own and marry a good man and make a happy home until she comes back and sees with those same eyes what time can not disguse she walks through the door with that look on her face cuz daddy´s brown hair has all turned to gray they talk for hours they cry and they laugh watchin old movies and thinking back, just as she turns to go she says hey dad how bout one for the road
dance me dance me around till my feet don´t ever touch down
dance me dance me around till my feet dont ever touch down cuz theres nothing better than being your girl oh theres nothing better than being your girl and if i am your princess than daddy you are the king of the world
king of the world
Spinning around of the tops of his feet
smile of the angels could not be so sweet
