Cinderella: (spoken) I imagine that there's a grand staircase, Candles everywhere, and an orchestra playing...
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 to 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 offense You are seriously thinking of retreating When 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: That's right they don't!
Cinderella: And it feels like you weigh nothing at all
Minerva: That's right it does!
Cinderella: And for a few precious moments, you're the only two people in the entire World. (sings) 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 goodbye, away you fly But on your lips you keep a kiss All your life you'll dream of this A Lovely, lovely night.
Minerva: A Lovely night,
Calliope: How lovely!
Minevra: A lovely night

Calliope: .. Ming prince.
Stepmother: As charming as a prince will ever be. The stars in a hazy heaven
