When You're Driving Through the Moonlight

Song When You're Driving Through the Moonlight
Artist Laura Osnes
Album Cinderella (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

Lyrics

[00:03.57] When you’re driving through the moonlight on the highway
[00:07.24] When you’re driving through the moonlight to the dance
[00:11.20] You are breathless with a wild anticipation
[00:15.83] Of adventure and excitement and romance
[00:19.68] Then at last you see the towers of the palace
[00:23.82] Silhouetted on the sky above the park
[00:27.99] And below them is a row of lighted windows
[00:32.26] Like a lovely diamond necklace in the dark!
[00:39.35][CHARLOTTE]
[00:39.70] It looks that way—
[00:41.52][GABRIELLE]
[00:41.76] The way you say
[00:43.95][MADAME]
[00:44.18] She talks as if she knows
[00:47.68][ELLA]
[00:48.08] I do not know
[00:50.14] These things are so
[00:52.05] I only just suppose...
[00:56.32] I suppose that when you come into the ballroom
[01:01.83] And the room itself is floating in the air
[01:05.49] If you’re suddenly confronted by His Highness
[01:09.56] You are frozen like a statue on the stair
[01:14.06] You’re afraid he’ll hear the way your heart is beating
[01:17.96] And you know you mustn’t make the first advance
[01:21.94] You are seriously thinking of retreating—
[01:26.53] Then you seem to hear him asking you to dance
[01:32.00]
[01:34.53] You make a bow
[01:36.70] A timid bow
[01:38.59] And shyly answer “yes”
[01:42.60][MADAME]
[01:43.14] How would you know
[01:44.65] That this is so?
[01:47.04][ELLA]
[01:47.46] I do no more than guess
[01:51.41][CHARLOTTE & GABRIELLE]
[01:51.64] You can guess till you’re blue in the face
[01:56.14] But you can’t even picture such a man
[02:00.29][CHARLOTTE]
[02:00.46] He is more than a prince
[02:02.26][GABRIELLE]
[02:02.41] He’s an ace!
[02:04.34][ELLA]
[02:04.54] But sisters, I really think I can—
[02:08.47][MADAME]
[02:08.67] Can what?
[02:09.63][ELLA]
[02:09.96] I think that I can picture such a man
[02:15.63][CHARLOTTE & GABRIELLE]
[02:15.88] He is tall
[02:18.38][ELLA]
[02:18.56] And straight as a lance
[02:20.88][CHARLOTTE & GABRIELLE]
[02:21.12] And his hair—
[02:22.91][ELLA]
[02:23.06] Is dark and wavy
[02:26.42][CHARLOTTE & GABRIELLE]
[02:26.76] His eyes—
[02:28.28][ELLA]
[02:28.52] Can melt you with a glance
[02:31.61][CHARLOTTE & GABRIELLE]
[02:31.79] He can turn a girl to gravy!
[02:37.64][ELLA]
[02:38.30] And I can imagine it
[02:39.77][GABRIELLE]
[02:39.92] I imagine it too!
[02:41.04][CHARLOTTE]
[02:41.42] I can imagine it, and I have no imagination!
[02:44.54][MADAME]
[02:44.85] I am throwing caution to the wind! I am imagining it as well!
[02:49.23][ELLA]
[02:49.39] Imagine what that girl would be feeling when dancing with the Prince!
[02:55.45]
