I’ve always had a soft place in my heart for fairy tales, so my ears perked up at these country music lyrics in Faith Hill’s “This Kiss”: “Cinderella said to Snow White, ‘How does love get so off course? Oh, all I wanted was a white knight, with a good heart, soft touch, fast horse.’” These lyrics communicate the woes of many a modern day woman who still wishes that life were like a fairy tale even though she’s smart enough to know it isn’t. This wish doesn’t weaken her character, however, as she is also smart enough to be thankful for all the blessings she has in spite of all of life’s imperfections.
