She spins and she sways
to whatever song plays
without a care in the world
and I'm sittin' here wearin'
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 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 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.
I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song.
'Cause all too soon the clock with 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
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.
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.
