Midnight To Cinderella

(Debbie Hennessey)
written by Paulette Miechle

Midnight To Cinderella

Once upon a time I had the perfect house & garden and

some say I had the perfect man to last me all my life

all sewn up in silken seams and no idea what it means

to take it all for granted and then lose it overnight

chours: It's like midnight to Cinderella, midnight to Cinderella,

midnight to Cinderella. That's right, it's over at midnight

When the house of cards came down it fell like ashes to the ground

through imperfect fingers slipped the ring that held the wife

perfect things just fell apart. Pride in dreams just broke the heart

unkind things can happen once upon a perfect life

chours: It's like midnight to Cinderella, midnight to Cinderella,

midnight to Cinderella. That's right, it's over at midnight

bridge: I don't want to be starting over now I feel like I've done it all somehow

And really, I've got nothing left to lose

This was never my dress, these were never my shoes

chours: It's like midnight to Cinderella, midnight to Cinderella,

midnight to Cinderella. That's right, it's over at midnight.

bridge: I don't want to be starting over now

I feel like I've done it all somehow

And really I've got nothing left to lose

This was never my dress, these were never my shoes

chours: Midnight to Cinderella, midnight to Cinderella,

midnight to Cinderella. That's right, it's over at midnight

Oh, oh that's right, I forgot about midnight
