| She spins and she sways
|
| To whatever song plays
|
| Without a care in the world
|
| And I’m sitting here wearing
|
| 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 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 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 her dress
|
| She says,
|
| «Dad, the prom is just one week away
|
| And 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 wanna miss even one song
|
| Cause all too soon the clock will 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
|
| 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 wanna miss even one song
|
| 'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
|
| And she’ll be gone |
