She spins and she sways to whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And he's sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on his shoulders It's been a long day and there's still work to do
She's pulling at him 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 he'll dance with Cinderella while she is here in his arms
'Cause he know something the prince never knew
Oh, he'll dance with Cinderella, he 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 he'll be impressed
She wants to know if he'll 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 he'll dance with Cinderella while she is here in his arms
'Cause he know something the prince never knew
Oh, he'll dance with Cinderella, he 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 he'll dance with Cinderella while she is here in his arms
'Cause he know something the prince never knew
Oh, he'll dance with Cinderella, he don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight and she'll be gone
