Cinderella (5 page)

and she'll be gone

not a care in the world

She says he's a nice guy

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 dancing
Oh please, Daddy, please”
Oh 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 want to miss even one song
'cause all too soon the clock
will strike midnight

and she'll be gone

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

But I need to practice my dancing
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 want to miss even one song
'cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
and she'll be gone

dance with me, Daddy
