You stood there in the doorway bathe din golden candlelight

While helpless hearts were melted by your style

So many gazing faces swaying softly in the night

Whose thoughts were making love to your sweet smile

Your sweet smile



Like Cinderella, you were the queen of the ball

Yeah you were the fairest of all

but why did I let you fall



I tried to keep your love above me girl when you reached out and touched me

But the music played for hours when the party was all over

I tried to treat you like a lady when I heard about the baby

oohh...oohh...oohh...oohh...oohh...oohh



Now you lie there in your silence bathed in golden candlelight

While the man is speaking softly your last rights

And so many gazing faces crying softly in the night

While helpless hearts all knelt there by your side

By your side



Like Cinderella, you were the queen of the ball

Yeah you were the fairest of all

but why did I let you fall
