There's nothing so attractive as a prince in his full power There's nothing as enticing as a rigid curfew hour There's nothing quite like choosing if you're the one to choose There's nothing quite like gambling if you've nothing left to lose And you're bound to be quite certain there's a fine prize to be had With a memory of perfume and a slipper in your hand … I'm sitting in the ballroom now - the guests have all gone home My husband's somewhere in the palace - I think I'm all alone There's mirrors all around the room and in every one I see A lady in fine clothing but she doesn't look like me. You thought that you were helping when you came by that night And turned my rags to riches and made the wrongs all right You thought that you were helping with your magic and your wand But I can't see what the fuss was for now everyone has gone. I can't see the princess or the beauty or the bride I only see the little girl in ashes left behind. I'm sitting in the ballroom now - the guests have all gone home My husband's somewhere in the palace - I think I'm all alone There's mirrors all around the room and in every one I see A lady in fine clothing but she doesn't look like me. I think he just came after me because I ran away I think I said I loved him to have something nice to say I think he only married me because the slipper fitted right I think I only married him from the romance of that night Don't judge me by the satins or the velvets or the gold There's just a little child by a fireside and the ashes have gone cold. I'm sitting in the ballroom now - the guests have all gone home My husband's somewhere in the palace - I think I'm all alone There's mirrors all around the room and in every one I see A lady in fine clothing but she doesn't look like me. |
