I remember watching it when I was a teenager... so probably sometime
in the 80's... it was on TV I think (in South Africa) - we watched it
over and over.
I think it might've been set in Paris or somewhere in France.
I have a vague memory of the name "Cinders"?  It has a song in it,
some of the lyrics went like this:

"I'm all along tonight, no one to care in sight, yesterdays far away
and todays here to stay, no no more tears anymore, and I can't love
you, won't love you, can't love you no more"

Dear suzzbuzz-ga,

The film was Cenerentola '80.

This is entry on Internet Movie Database
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085316/

It appears that it was set in Rome not France.

?In this contemporary retelling of the Cinderella story, a feisty
18-year-old Italian-American New Yorker named Cindy is sent off to
Rome with her irascible stepmother and vain stepsisters. On the way,
she meets, and falls in love with, globetrotting bagpacker Mizio, who
eventually turns out to be of Italian nobility. There's a fairy
stand-in in the form of a spaced-out astrologer, a dance, and she even
loses a shoe at one point. Care to venture a guess how it all turns
out??

The song that you recalled very well was "No Tears Anymore" by Bonnie
Bianco and is listed in the soundtrack page.
