Second Midnight
[WITCH, spoken]
Two midnights gone!

[CINDERELLA, spoken]
Wanting a ball is not wanting a Prince...[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE, spoken]
Near may be better than far
But it still isn't there... 
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE, spoken]
Near may be better than far
But it still isn't there...[CINDERELLA, spoken]
The ball...

[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE, spoken]
So near...

[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE, spoken]
So far...

[STEPMOTHER, spoken]
You can never love somebody else's child—

[FLORINDA & LUCINDA, spoken]
Two midnights gone!

[STEPMOTHER, spoken]
—the way you love—
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE, spoken]
So near...

[STEPMOTHER, spoken]
—your own

[CINDERELLA, spoken]
The Prince...

[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE, spoken]
So far...

[GRANNY, spoken]
The greatest prize can often lie
At the end of the thorniest path...

[ALL, spoken]
Two midnights gone!
Two midnights gone!
