I imagine.. I imagine.. When you're driving
through the moonlight on a highway when
through the moonlight to a dance you are
breathless with a wild anticipation of
adventure and excitement and romance
Then at last you see the towers of the
palace silhouetted on the sky above the
park and below them is a row of lighted
windows like a lovely diamond necklace in
the dark
ESMERALDA
It looks that way
PRINCE
The way you say
EVIL STEPMOTHER
She talks as if she knows.
CINDERELLA
I do not know what these things are, so I only just suppose.
I suppose that when you come into the ballroom and the room
itself is floating on 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 advance. You are seriously
thinking of retreating then you seem to hear
him asking you to dance
You make a bow, a timid bow, and shyly answer yes
EVIL STEPMOTHER
How would you know that this is so?
CINDERELLA
I do know more than guess, I do know more than guess
He is tall
ESMERALDA
And straight as a lass
CINDERELLA
His eyes
PRUNELLA
Can melt you with a glance
CINDERELLA
Yes I can picture the whole thing, how you start thinking...
ESMERELDA
Start thinking what?
CINDERELLA
Thinking how wonderful it all is
EVIL STEPMOTHER
How wonderful what all is?
CINDERELLA
Everything
EVIL STEPMOTHER
Enough of this nonsense.
Esmerelda, Prunella, upstairs both of you and get your sleep!
PRUNELLA
Yes, ma'am
EVIL STEPMOTHER
Cinderella, here is your broom GET TO WORK!!!
CINDERELLA
I don't mind sweeping.
This night is mine and no one
and nothing can take it from me.
A lovely night,
a lovely night,
a finer night you'll know you'll never see.
You meet your prince,
a charming prince
as charming as a prince will ever be.
The stars in the hazy heaven tremble above you
while he is whispering,
"Darling, I love you."
You say goodbye,
away you fly
but on your lips you'll keep a kiss
all your life you'll dream of this
lovely,
lovely night.
A lovely night,
a lovely night,
a finer night you'll know you'll never see.
You meet your prince,
a charming prince
as charming as a prince will ever be.
The stars in the hazy heaven tremble above you
while he is whispering,
"Darling, I love you."
You say goodbye,
away you fly
but on your lips you'll keep a kiss
all your life you'll dream of this
lovely,
lovely night.
