Lyrics Ever After - Original Broadway Cast of Into the Woods Ensemble feat. Tom Aldredge

And it came to pass, that 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 meanded, and it's not just for today, but tommorow 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 hense 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 they're nerve
Not a lot
And we reached the right conclusions
And we got what we deserved
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
We're unworthy
Lost my power and my flower
We're unhappy now, unhappy hence
As well as ever after
Had we used our common sense
Been worthy of our discontents
We'd be happy
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 your 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
