[Verse 1]
Cinderella, stay awhile
You are the one
That I have been looking for
Cinderella, when you smile
All around me sunbeams
Start to fall
Midnight is so near
Please do not disappear
Now that you are here
Stay awhile
[Verse 2]
Cinderella, I just know
That the magic slipper's
Going to fit
Cinderella, do not go
You are my princess
I am sure of it
This is love for sure
Love that is sweet and pure
Love that will endure
Stay awhile
[Bridge]
When you speak the angels all sing
This is the kind of magic you bring, oh
[Verse 3]
Cinderella, stay awhile
This is like a fairytale with you
Cinderella, when you smile
All my fairy tales are coming true
Well my only fear
Is midnight is so near
Please do not disappear
Stay awhile, oh
[Outro]
(Fairytales, make-believe and you)
(Fairytales, make-believe and you)
Cinderella, stay awhile
Do not you go
Oh
Cinderella, stay awhile
You are the one
That I have been looking for
Cinderella, when you smile
All around me sunbeams
Start to fall
Midnight is so near
Please do not disappear
Now that you are here
Stay awhile
[Verse 2]
Cinderella, I just know
That the magic slipper's
Going to fit
Cinderella, do not go
You are my princess
I am sure of it
This is love for sure
Love that is sweet and pure
Love that will endure
Stay awhile
[Bridge]
When you speak the angels all sing
This is the kind of magic you bring, oh
[Verse 3]
Cinderella, stay awhile
This is like a fairytale with you
Cinderella, when you smile
All my fairy tales are coming true
Well my only fear
Is midnight is so near
Please do not disappear
Stay awhile, oh
