[Intro] (soft guitar, tambourine, gentle handclaps) Cinderella, Cinderella Dancing all alone Cinderella, Cinderella Dreaming of a home [Verse 1] She swept the floor from morning till night While her sisters dressed in ribbons bright They laughed and said, “You cannot go” But Cinderella whispered, “How would you know?” She had no dress, she had no shoes Nothing in the world that she could choose Then suddenly, beneath the moon A little silver voice began to croon [Pre-Chorus] Close your eyes Make a wish Something's coming Don't be afraid [Chorus] Cinderella, dance tonight Turn around beneath the lights Leave your worries at the door You don't have to cry anymore Cinderella, take my hand Tonight you'll see a magic land But when the clock begins to chime You better run before midnight [Verse 2] The carriage rolled beneath the stars Glass slippers shining as they crossed the dark She walked inside and music played And every eye in the ballroom turned her way The Prince came over, took her hand They danced together across the floor She laughed beneath the golden lights Like she'd never been alone before [Pre-Chorus] Then the clock Began to ring One more minute That's all she had [Chorus] Cinderella, dance tonight Turn around beneath the lights Leave your worries at the door You don't have to cry anymore Cinderella, take my hand Tonight you'll see a magic land But when the clock begins to chime You better run before midnight [Bridge] (music drops to bass and finger snaps) Twelve o'clock! (drums crash) She ran down the stairs Lost one little shoe The Prince shouted, “Wait!” But she disappeared from view [Final Chorus] Cinderella, where'd you go? Left a little glass below He'll find you anywhere With that little slipper there Cinderella, don't you hide There's a Prince waiting outside When the morning comes around You'll be wearing that golden crown [Outro] (bright guitar riff) Cinderella... Dance tonight... (clock chimes) One... Two... Three... [Final chord]
