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 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 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 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 want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
But she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned
She says, «Dad the wedding's still six months away
But 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 want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone.
