Cinderella: (spoken)
I imagine that there's a grand staircase,
candles everywhere, and an orchestra playing
Minerva:
It looks that way
Calliope:
The way you say
Stepmother:
She talks as if she knows
Cinderella:
I do not know that this is so
I only just suppose
I suppose that when you come to the ballroom
and the room itself is floating in the air
If you're suddenly confronted by his highness
you are frozen like a statue on the stair
You're afraid he'll hear the way your heart is beating
and you know you mustn't make the first offense
You are seriously thinking of retreating
when you seem to hear him asking you to dance
(spoken)
And when you waltz with him, you whirl around so that your feet never
touch the floor
Calliope:
That's right they don't!
Cinderlla:
And it feels like you weigh nothing at all
Minerva:
That's right it does!
Cinderella:
And for a few precious moments, you're the only two people in the entire
world
(sings)
A Lovely night, a lovely night
A finer night you know you'll never see
You meet your prince, a charming prince
As charming as a prince will ever be
The stars in a hazy heaven
tremble above you
While he is whispering:
"Darling I Love you"
You say goodbye, away you fly
but on your lips you keep a kiss
All your life you'll dream of this
Lovely, lovely night
Minerva:
A Lovely night,
Calliope:
How lovely!
Minevra:
A lovely night
Calliope:
How lovely!
Minerva:
A finer night you know you'll never see
Calliope:
How lovely
Minerva:
You meet
Calliope:
your prince,
Minerva:
a char-
Calliope:
ming prince
Stepmother:
As charming as a prince will ever be
The stars in a hazy heaven
Calliope:
tremble above you
Stepmother:
While he is whispering:
Minerva:
"Darling I Love you"
Cinderella:
You say goodbye, away you fly
Stepsisters:
but on your lips you keep a kiss
Stepmother:
All your life you'll dream of this
Cinderella:
Lovely,
Minerva:
lovely,
Calliope:
lovely
Stepsisters, Cinderella:
Lovely night
