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:

Minevra:

Minerva:

Calliope:

Minerva:

a char-...



Calliope:

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:
