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.

|
all your life you'll dream of this
|
lovely,
|
lovely night.
|
You say goodbye,
|
away you fly
|
but on your lips you'll keep a kiss
|
all your life you'll dream of this
