[Verse 1]
She spins and she sways to whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing 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!"

[Chorus]
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dancе with Cinderella
I don't want to miss evеn one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight...
And she'll be gone

[Verse 2]
Well, she says he's a nice guy and I'd 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 dancin'
Oh please, Daddy, please!"
[Chorus]
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 want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight...
And she'll be gone

Whoa...

[Verse 3]
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
But I need to practice my dancin'
Oh please, Daddy, please!"

[Chorus]
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 want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight...
But I know, the truth is, the dance will go on
