She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And Im sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders
Its been a long day
And theres still work to do
Shes pulling at me
Saying Dad, I need you
Theres a ball at the castle
And Ive been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
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 dont want to miss even one song
Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And shell be gone…
She says hes a nice guy and Id be impressed
She wants to know if I 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 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 dont want to miss even one song
Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And shell be gone
She will be gone
Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, Dad, the weddings still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
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 dont want to miss even one song
Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And shell be gone
