Cinderella - Live

[Verse 1]
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, 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...

[Verse 2]
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, 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... whoa

Ohhhh, ohhh...

[Verse 3]
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 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, oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight...

[Outro]
But I know, the truth is
The dance will go on...
