| 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 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 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 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 want to miss even one song |
| 'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight |
| And she’ll be gone |
| But she came home today with a ring on her hand |
| Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned |
| She says, «Dad the wedding’s still six months away but 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 want to miss even one song |
| 'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight |
| And she’ll be gone |
