Cinderella

She spins and she sways

to whatever song plays

without a care in the world

and I'm sittin' here wearin'

the weight of the world on my shoulders.



It's been a long day

and there's still work to do.

She's pulling at me saying

Dad, i need you.



There's a ball at the castle

and I've been invited.

And I need to practice my dancin'.

Oh please, daddy please.



So I will dance with Cinderella

while she is here in my arms.

'Cause I know something the prince never knew.



Oh, I will dance with Cinderella.

I don't wanna miss even one song.

'Cause all too soon,

the clock will strike midnight

and she'll be gone.



She says he's a nice guy

and I'd be impressed.

She wants to know if I approve of the dress.



She says,

Dad the prom is just one week away

and I need to practice my dancin'

Oh please, daddy please.



So I will dance with Cinderella

while she is here in my arms.

'Cause I know something the prince never knew.



I will dance with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song.

'Cause all too soon the clock with strike midnight

and she'll be gone.

She will be gone.



Well she came home today

with a ring on her hand,

just glowing and telling us all they had planned.

She says,

Dad the wedding's still six months away

and I need to practice my dancin'

Oh please, daddy please.



So I will dance with Cinderella

while she is here in my arms

'Cause I know something the prince never knew.



I will dance with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song

'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight

and she'll be gone.
