A Lovely Night

[MINERVA]
It looks that way

[CALLIOPE]
The way you say

[STEPMOTHER]
She talks as if she knows

[CINDERELLA]
I do not know
That this is so
I only just suppose

I suppose that when you come into the ballroom
And the room itself is floating in the air
If you're suddenly confronted by his highness
You are frozen like a statue on the stair
You're afraid he'll hear the way your heart is beating
And you know you mustn't make the first advance
You are seriously thinking of retreating
Then you seem to hear him asking you to dance

(Spoken)
And when you waltz with him, you whirl around so that your feet never touch the floor

[CALLIOPE - Spoken]
That's right, they don't

[CINDERELLA - Spoken]
And it makes you feel as though you weigh nothing at all

[MINERVA - Spoken]
That's right, it does

[CINDERELLA - Spoken]
And then for a few precious moments you're the only two people in the entire world

(Sung)
A lovely night, a lovely night
A finer night you know you’ll never see
You meet your prince, a charming prince
As charming as a prince will ever be

The stars in a hazy heaven
Tremble above you
While he is whispering
“Darling, I love you!”
You say good-bye
Away you fly
But on your lips, you keep a kiss
All your life you’ll dream of this
Lovely, lovely night

[MINERVA]
A lovely night

[CALLIOPE]
How lovely!

[MINERVA]
A lovely night

[CALLIOPE]
How lovely!

[MINERVA]
A finer night you know you’ll never see

[CALLIOPE]
How lovely

[MINVERA]
You meet

[CALLIOPE]
Your prince

[MINERVA]
A char-

[CALLIOPE]
-ming prince

[STEPMOTHER]
As charming as a prince will ever be

The stars in the hazy heaven

[CALLIOPE]
Tremble above you

[STEPMOTHER]
While he is whispering

[MINERVA]
"Darling I love you!"

[CINDERELLA]
You say goodbye
Away you fly

[MINERVA & CALLIOPE]
But on your lips you keep a kiss

[STEPMOTHER]
All your life you'll dream of this

[CINDERELLA]
Lovely!

[MINERVA]
Lovely!

[CALLIOPE]
Lovely!

[CINDERELLA, MINERVA, & CALLIOPE]
Lovely night
