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 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 her dress
She says. `Dad the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancin``
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 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

Verse 3:
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!`

Chorus:
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
