"Cinderella" lyrics

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

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 is six months 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
But I know, the truth is
The dance will go on
