Happily Ever After

(Happily Ever After, from Fearless Moral Inventory, lyrics by Nicole Wilde and Juliet A. Wright, music by Juliet A. Wright, copyright 1995 all rights reserved) Happily Ever After

I think I’d like to play queen for a day

Dress up in lace

With just a trace

Of innocence

On my mind

Remember we’d stray down fantasies way

Walk down the aisles

With grown up smiles

Our hands full of childish dreams

Kings and Queens and movie scenes

And wishes that always come true

That’s how it’s planned in this magic land

Of happily ever after.

Someone stole her heart away

She saw blue skies

Through innocent eyes

But storms appeared

Just like before

Day after day her life passed her by

A mirror it seemed

To what might have been

Till she shattered the glass

And the dream fell away

Kings and Queens and movie scenes

And wishes that always come true

That’s how it’s planned in this magic land

Of happily ever after.

Talking on the phone from day to day

Will the horse and carriage

Ever come our way?

Are we missing something here

As we wait and wait in fear

Of loneliness

The flowers are dead and the lace is torn

The soles of these shoes

Are bloody well worn

I really don’t think

I can go through this again

Kings and Queens and movie scenes

And wishes that always come true

That’s how it’s planned in this magic land

Of happily ever after.

Kings and Queens and movie scenes

And wishes that always come true

That’s how it’s planned in this magic land

Of happily ever after.

Ever after

Ever after

Ever after

Ever after
