Slow Down Cinderella

But I dreamed it yes I did

If following light footsteps

One could reach a higher ground

If there was a step

But the coach hasn't left yet

A window doesn't light up the street at night

It just make a golden rectangle

So if looking for a sparkling opinion

Then Bippity bobbity boo

Gets in the way of a stroll with an angle

One could make a better bet

Sleeping under a willow

Wishes come true

When romance touches value

Until then frequent friends

Might be a reason to celebrate

But the shoe won't fit

So bare feet it is and

The smile that brings twinkling words

Is the fairy tale

Footprints on the tapestry

What does that mean

God picked you

The prince of hearts

Not you picked me

So leave me in my reverie
