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 want to 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 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
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 want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon
the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone |
