Cinder & Slipper - Music & Lyrics : Alexander James Adams

She came late in evening like a nightingale's song,
We danced through the hours though they hardly seemed long-
When the clock struck at midnight she turned ash and pale,
And slipped through my arms like thin smoke in a gale-

I called and pursued her, though the night hid her form-
She left a small slipper all crystal and warm,
Which I held to my breast as I cast all about,
While the flame that grown in my heart flickered out-

CINDER & SLIPPER ARE ALL THAT REMAINS,
I'LL WANDER THE WOODS, AND THE CITIES AND PLAINS-
WHEN I FIND MY FAIR LADY, I'LL KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE,
FOR THERE IS BUT ONE FOOT THAT WILL FIT IN THIS SHOE-

They lined up as perfect as perfect can be,
A vision of beauty for all men to see-
But the show would not fit and though each took her turn,
The embers within my cold heart, would not burn-

(Chorus)

Happily Ever After-
The stories all say it is so-
They tell tales of love and laughter,
But the truth of my pain, they don't know-

It was late in the evening at the inn where I stayed,
A servant girl lit up a fire that she'd laid,
When the flame lashed in anger, she danced back in flight,
'Twas a movement I'd seen on a much different night,

CINDER & SLIPPER ARE ALL THAT REMAINS,
I've wandered the woods, and the cities and plains,
Have I found my Fair Lady, pray say that it's true!
That the fit and the flame that I search for is you!

Happily Ever After-
The stories all say it is so-
They tell tales of love and laughter,
But the truth of my pain, they won't know-
