You stood there in the doorway bathe din golden candlelight
|
While helpless hearts were melted by your style
|
So many gazing faces swaying softly in the night
|
Whose thoughts were making love to your sweet smile
|
Your sweet smile
|
|
Like Cinderella, you were the queen of the ball
|
Yeah you were the fairest of all
|
but why did I let you fall
|
|
I tried to keep your love above me girl when you reached out and touched me
|
But the music played for hours when the party was all over
|
I tried to treat you like a lady when I heard about the baby
|
oohh...oohh...oohh...oohh...oohh...oohh
|
|
Now you lie there in your silence bathed in golden candlelight
|
While the man is speaking softly your last rights
|
And so many gazing faces crying softly in the night
|
While helpless hearts all knelt there by your side
|
By your side
|
|
Like Cinderella, you were the queen of the ball
|
Yeah you were the fairest of all
|
but why did I let you fall
|
|

Like Cinderella
