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.

You say goodbye,

away you fly

but on your lips you'll keep a kiss
