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"
(Chorus)
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"
(Chorus)
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 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"
(Chorus)
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
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"
(Chorus)
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"
(Chorus)
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
