Michael Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cinderella, stay awhile
You're the one that I've been lookin' for
Cinderella, bring your smile
All around me sunbeams start to fall

Midnight is so near
Please don't disappear
Now that you are here
Stay awhile

Cinderella, I just know
That the magic slipper's gonna to fit
Cinderella, do not go
You're my princess I am sure of it

This is love for sure
Love that's sweet and pure
Love that will endure
Stay awhile

When you speak
The angels all sing
This is the kind of magic
You bring, oh

Cinderella, stay awhile
This is like a fairytale with you
Cinderella, when you smile
All my fairytales are coming true

Well my only fear
Is midnight is so near
Please don't disappear
Stay awhile, oh

Fairytales, make-believe and you
Fairytales, make-believe and you

Cinderella, stay awhile
Don't you go, ho
Cinderella, stay awhile
Don't you go

Stay, stay, Cinderella
Stay awhile, please love me Cinderella
Don't you go, please don't go
Cinderella, I would die

Cinderella, don't you go, well my
I wanna be your fella, Cinderella
I wanna be your fella, alright
Don't you go, Cinderella
