When You're Driving Through The Moonlight

[Cinderella]
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
silouetted on the sky above the park
and below them is a row of lighted windows
like a lovely diamond necklace in the dark.

[Joy] It looks that way
[Grace] The way you say
[Evil Stepmother] She talks as if she knows.

[Cinderella]
I do not know 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 musn'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 no more than guess.

[Evil Stepsisers]
You can guess till you're blue in the face
But you can't even picture such a man
He is more than a prince
He's an ace.

[Cinderella]
But sisters, I really think I can
I think that I can picture such a man.

[Stepsisters] He is tall...
[Cinderella] And straight as a lance
[Stepsisters] And his hair...
[Cinderella] Is dark and wavy
[Stepsisters] His eyes...
[Cinderella] Can melt you with a glance
[Stepsisters] He can turn a girl to gravy.
