Found on perspective.

I was out last night having a ball
And comin’ home, I wasn’t thinkin’ nothin’ at all
And there on the sidewalk what did I see
A little glass slipper starin’ back at me

Silver lady in the night with a passion burning bright

She walked into my dreams
I had to love her so.
I knew instinctively that she was the one for me read more »

[verse 1]
Cinderella, stay awhile
You’re the one
That I’ve been lookin’ for
Cinderella, when you smile
All around me sunbeams

And I heard her whisper

It's midnight Cinderella but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumpkin Eater
And the party's just begun

I guess your prince charming
Wasn't after all
'Cause he sure seemed different right after the ball
I guess more than horses are turnin' into rats
And by the way he's walkin'
I can guess where your slipper's at

It's midnight Cinderella time that you should know
There's gonna be some changes in the way this story goes
It's midnight Cinderella but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumkin Eater
And the party's just begun

I'm gonna help you get over
Bein' under that spell
You're gonna learn to love midnight
Inside this pumpkin shell
I gotta few new magic tricks
Your godmother can't do
I'll show you what it means to
Bip, bip, bip, bip, boppity boo

It's midnight Cinderella time that you should know
There's gonna be some changes in the way this story goes
It's midnight Cinderella but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumkin Eater
And the party's just begun

I'm Peter Peter the Pumpkin Eater
And the party has now begun read more »

Five senses down and reeling on the cinderella search read more »

Every day in the morning on her way to the office
You can see as she catches a train
Just a face among a million faces
Just another woman with no name
Not the girl you’d remember but she’s still something special
If you knew her I am sure you’d agree
’cause I know she’s got a little secret
Friday evening she turns out to be... read more »

When I was young, my mind would always wander away
I couldn’t talk, never had nothin to say
But now I’m grown, nothing much seems to have changed
I think I’m going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah read more »

I scratched my finger
On the door in front of you
You scratched your finger
At the door, girl outside
That’s a bigger
Responsibility
When all my children
Is an endless bore read more »
