Cinderella

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 She will be gone But 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" 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
