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
