When You're Driving Through The Moonlight/A Lovely Night
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II)



Cinderella: 
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 silouetted on the sky above the park 
and below them is a row of lighted windows like a lovely diamond necklace in the dark

Esmerelda: It looks that way

Prunella: The way you say

Evil Stepmother: She talks as if she knows

Cinderella: 
I do not know 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 musn'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 no more than guess, I do no more than guess

Cinderella: He is tall

Esmerelda: And straight as a lance

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

Esmerelda & 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 all your life you'll dream of this lovely, lovely, lovely night
