If y'all don't know the story behind this song, please, please, PLEASE look it up. You might need tissues.... 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 don't want to miss even one song 'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight And she'll be gone
