Impossible
Whitney Houston · Cinderella (TV) [soundtrack]
Impossible
For a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage
Impossible
For a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage
A slipper made of glass is just a shoe
And dreamers never make a dream come true
Impossible
Impossible
For a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage
Impossible
For a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage
And four white mice will never be four white horses
Such falder-all-and-fiddle-dee-dee of course is
Impossible
But the world is full of zanies and fools
Who don't believe in sensible rules
And won't believe what sensible people say
And because these daft and dewey-eyed dopes
Keep building up impossible hopes,
Impossible things are happening everyday

[Brandy]
It's possible
For a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage
It's possible
For a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage
[Whitney]
And four white mice are easily turned to horses
Such falder-all-and-fiddle-dee-dee of course is
Quite possible
[Both] It's possible
[Brandy] For the world is full of zanies and fools
[Whitney] Who don't believe in sensible rules
[Brandy] And won't believe what sensible people say
[Both] And because these daft and dewy-eyed dopes
Keep building up impossible hopes
Impossible things are happening everyday
[Brandy] It's possible
[Whitney] It's possible
[Brandy] It's possible
[Whitney] It's possible
[Brandy] It's possible
[Whitney] It's possible
[Both] It's possible
