She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,

Without a care in the world.

And I'm sittin' here wearin' 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 wanna miss even one song,

Cuz all to 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'd approve of a 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

Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song, 

Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight 

And she'll be gone

She will be gone.



Well, 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 due six months 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

Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song, 
(even one song) 

Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight

And she'll be gone
