life after happily ever after

this is life after happily ever after

and it's all just as sweet as the stories say

i feel wild

free

as light as can be

i'm ready to explore

with nothing at all standing in my way

true there are certain customs i have to follow

several small obligations i can't avoid

a few rules to-well

more than a few

commitments by the score

aside from all that though i'm overjoyed

and sure there are corsets and buckles and bows

plus all those names to recall

still i can hardly complain i suppose

this is happily ever after

after all

and now that at last you are here in my arms

i won't permit you to fall

i must protect you from all the world's harms

we'll live happily ever after

after all

now that we're living splendidly

our dreams fulfilled extendedly

why leave things open endedly

for rapunzel and moi?

tonight i'll hand this rose to her

kneel down and then propose to her

and give this ring i chose to her

life's gonna be like strawberry sherbert

once she is mrs. eugene fitzherbert

once she is princess eugene fitzherbert

this is life after happily ever after

and our story has finally reached its end

settling down here

year upon year

contented and secure

with dozen of duties we'll have to tend

and now that we've gotten the dream that we chose

now that we're in for the haul

now our adventures can come to a close

living happily ever after

after all

now that i've gotten the dream that i choose

why does my world feel so small?

if this is it

and it is i suppose

is this happily ever after

after all?
