"Still Okay to Dream"
Hey there
Melancholy Cinderella
There's something I should tell ya
if I might be so bold
You're feeling low now
But take it from this woman
Though I don't know where
I'm going
or how I got to be this old
It's just the Middle Ages
You're no longer sweet sixteen
You're tired of the hassle
Trying to keep a castle clean
The fairytales of childhood
left you on the final page
It's not something that they tell ya
'Ella
We all reach middle age
Snow White
Is ever so much more than twenty
The blonde on Sleeping Beauty
is grey where it was gold
And I am older, wiser
I think clearer
Don't you listen to your mirror
Dreams are possible
It's just the Middle Ages
You're no longer sweet sixteen
You're tired of the hassle
Trying to keep a castle clean
But your story and your glory
are just waiting to be seen
It's not something that they tell ya
'Ella
It's still okay to dream
Cheer up Cinderella
Now it's still okay to dream
It's still okay
You're on your way
Hey now
Melancholy Cinderella
It's still okay to dream
