[00:00.769] And it came to pass, all that seemed wrong
[00:02.558] Was now right, and those who deserved to
[00:04.998] Were certain to live a long and happy life.
[00:08.618] Ever after...
[00:09.727] Ever after!
[00:10.709] Journey over, all is mended,
[00:12.448] And it's not just for today,
[00:14.077] But tomorrow, and extended
[00:15.778] Ever after!
[00:17.020] Ever after!
[00:17.887] All the curses have been ended,
[00:19.728] The reverses wiped away.
[00:21.668] All is tenderness and laughter
[00:23.480] For forever after!
[00:25.748] Happy now and happy hence
[00:27.638] And happy ever after!
[00:29.417] There were dangers-
[00:30.242] We were frightened-
[00:30.858] And confusions-
[00:31.308] But we hid it-
[00:31.837] And the paths would often swerve.
[00:32.868] We did not.
[00:33.229] There were constant-
[00:34.127] It's amazing-
[00:34.608] Disillusions-
[00:35.049] That we did it.
[00:35.588] But they never lost they're nerve.
[00:36.748] Not a lot.
[00:37.300] And they/we reached the right conclusions
[00:38.962] And they/we got what they/we deserved!
[00:41.068] Not a sigh and not a sorrow,
[00:42.788] Tenderness and laughter.
[00:45.131] Joy today and bliss tomorrow,
[00:47.048] And forever after!
[00:48.787] I was greedy.
[00:49.492] I was vain.
[00:50.308] I was haughty.
[00:50.857] I was smug.
[00:51.447] We were happy.
[00:52.318] It was fun.
[00:53.028] But we were blind.
[00:53.628] Then we went into the woods
[00:54.228] To get our wish,
[00:54.978] And now we're really blind.
[00:55.950] I was perfect.
[00:56.680] I had everything but beauty.
[00:58.007] I had power,
[00:58.667] And a daughter like a flower,
[00:59.868] In a tower.
[01:00.778] Then i went into the woods
[01:02.158] To get my wish,
[01:02.758] And now i'm ordinary.
[01:03.377] Lost my power and my flower.
[01:04.078] We're unworthy.
[01:05.528] We're/i'm unhappy now, unhappy hence,
[01:06.650] As well as ever after.
[01:08.688] Had we used our common sense,
[01:10.741] Been worthy of our discontents,
[01:12.618] We'd be happy.
[01:12.960] To be happy, and forever,
[01:14.188] You must see your wish come true.
[01:16.198] Don't be careful, don't be clever.
[01:18.019] When you see your wish, pursue.
[01:19.929] It's a dangerous endeavor,
[01:21.628] But the only thing to do-
[01:24.158] Though it's fearful,
[01:24.938] Though it's deep, though it's dark,
[01:25.678] And though you may lose your path,
[01:27.657] Though you may encounter wolves,
[01:29.217] You mustn't stop,
[01:30.148] You mustn't swerve,
[01:31.248] You mustn't ponder,
[01:32.258] You have to act!
[01:33.327] When you know your wish,
[01:34.446] If you want your wish,
[01:35.750] You can have your wish,-
[01:37.000] No, to get your wish
[01:39.996] You go into the woods,
[01:40.555] Where nothing's clear,
[01:41.204] Where witches, ghosts
[01:41.954] And wolves appear.
[01:43.034] Into the woods
[01:44.003] And through the fear,
[01:44.924] You have to take the journey.
[01:46.824] Into the woods
[01:47.745] And down the dell,
[01:48.614] In vain, perhaps,
[01:49.189] But who can tell?
[01:50.526] Into the woods to lift the spell,
[01:52.277] Into the woods to lose the longing,
[01:54.094] Into the woods to have the child,
[01:55.855] To wed the prince,
[01:56.794] To get the money,
[01:57.675] To save the house,
[01:58.604] To kill the wolf,
[01:59.516] To find the father,
[02:00.385] To conquer the kingdom,
[02:01.276] To have, to wed,
[02:02.154] To get, to save,
[02:02.865] To kill, to keep,
[02:03.654] To go to the festival!
[02:04.814] Into the woods,
[02:06.864] Into the woods,
[02:08.654] Into the woods,
[02:09.577] Then out of the woods
[02:14.134] And happy ever after!
