Disney Cinderella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every girl can be a princess, any dream can be
Close your eyes and see
A magic wand and soon you've gone
From just you to royalty
You don't need a grand old castle rising in the air
Maids to brush your hair

Your heart is pure, you're thoughtful
Surely princess, you're almost there
Why just putting on a tiara
And you aren't the same old you
My life changed so completely
By just putting on a shoe, who knew
Every girl can be a princess

Fashion can be learned, heads can still be turned
By your sweet face, the style and grace
You know you've already earned
Hold your head high and keep smiling
'Cause that's just what a princess does
You're as beloved and beguiling
As ever a princess was

Every girl can be a princess, all that's left to do
Is find a prince for you, a prince who's bold




Who'll hold you your whole life through
The most perfect princess is you
