Stephen Sondheim - Second Midnight lyrics

Witch: Two midnights gone! Cinderella: Wanting a ball is not wanting a Prince... Cinderella's Prince: Near may be better than far But it still isn't there... Rapunzel's Prince [echo]: Near may be better than far But it still isn't there... Cinderella: The ball... Cinderella's Prince: So near... Rapunzel's Prince: So far... Stepmother: You can never love somebody else's child-- Florinda, Lucinda: Two midnights gone! Stepmother: --the way you love-- Cinderella's Prince: So near... Stepmother: --your own Cinderella: The Prince... Rapunzel's Prince: so far... Granny: The greatest prize can often lie At the end of the thorniest path... All: Two midnights gone! Two midnights gone!
