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 into 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 advance
You are seriously thinking of retreating
Then 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 - Spoken
That's right, they don't
CINDERELLA - Spoken
And it makes you feel as though you weigh nothing at all
MINERVA - Spoken
That's right, it does
CINDERELLA - Spoken
And then for a few precious moments you're the only two people in the entire world
(Sung)
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 good-bye
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!
MINERVA
A lovely night
CALLIOPE
How lovely!
MINERVA
A finer night you know you’ll never see
CALLIOPE
How lovely
MINVERA
You meet
CALLIOPE
Your prince
MINERVA
A char-
CALLIOPE
-ming prince
STEPMOTHER
As charming as a prince will ever be
The stars in the hazy heaven
CALLIOPE
Tremble above you
STEPMOTHER
While he is whispering
MINERVA
"Darling I love you!"
CINDERELLA
You say goodbye
Away you fly
MINERVA & CALLIOPE
But on your lips you keep a kiss
STEPMOTHER
All your life you'll dream of this
CINDERELLA
Lovely!
MINERVA
Lovely!
CALLIOPE
Lovely!
CINDERELLA, MINERVA, & CALLIOPE
Lovely night
