Ever After

Lyrics by：Stephen Sondheim

Composed by：Stephen Sondheim

And it came to pass all that seemed wrong was now right

The kingdoms were filled with joy

And those who deserved to were certain to live a long and happy life

Ever after

Ever after

Journey over all is mended

And it's not just for today

But tomorrow and extended

Ever after

Ever after

All the curses have been ended

The reverses wiped away

All is tenderness and laughter

For forever after

Happy now and happy hence

And happy ever after

There were dangers

We were frightened

And confusions

But we hid it

And the paths would often swerve

We did not

There were constant

It's amazing

Disillusions

That we did it

But they never lost their nerve

Not a lot

And we) reached the right conclusions

And they) got what they) deserve

Not a sigh and not a sorrow

Tenderness and laughter

Joy today and bliss tomorrow

And forever after

I was greedy

I was vain

I was haughty

I was smug

We were happy

It was fun

But we were blind

Then we went into the woods

To get our wish

And now we're really blind

I was perfect

I had everything but beauty

I had power

And a daughter like a flower

In a tower

Then I went into the woods

To get my wish

And now I'm ordinary

Lost my power and my flower

We're unworthy

I'm) unhappy now unhappy hence

As well as ever after

Had we used our common sense

Been worthy of our discontents

To be happy and forever

You must see your wish come true

Don't be careful don't be clever

When you see your wish pursue

It's a dangerous endeavor

But the only thing to do

Though it's fearful

Though it's deep though it's dark

And though you may lose the path

Though you may encounter wolves

You mustn't stop

You mustn't swerve

You mustn't ponder

You have to act

When you know your wish

If you want your wish

You can have your wish

But you can't just wish

No to get your wish

You go into the woods

Where nothing's clear

Where witches ghosts

And wolves appear

Into the woods

And through the fear

You have to take the journey

Into the woods

And down the dell

In vain perhaps

But who can tell

Into the woods to lift the spell

Into the woods to lose the longing

Into the woods to have the child

To wed the Prince

To get the money

To save the house

To kill the wolf

To find the father

To conquer the kingdom

To have to wed

To get to save

To kill to keep

To go to the Festival

Into the woods

Into the woods

Into the woods

Then out of the woods

To be continued

And happy ever after
