Broadway Into the Woods the Musical - Act I Finale: Ever After Lyrics
NARRATOR And it came to pass, all that seemed wrong was now right, and those who deserved to were certain to live a long and happy life. Ever after...
COMPANY Ever after!
NARRATOR Journey over, all is mended, And it's not just for today, But tomorrow, and extended Ever after!
COMPANY Ever after!
NARRATOR All the curses have been ended, The reverses wiped away. All is tenderness and laughter For forever after!
COMPANY Happy now and happy hence And happy ever after!
NARRATOR There were dangers-
COMPANY We were frightened-
NARRATOR And confusions-
COMPANY But we hid it-
NARRATOR And the paths would often swerve.
COMPANY We did not.
NARRATOR There were constant-
COMPANY It's amazing-
NARRATOR Disillusions-
COMPANY That we did it.
NARRATOR But they never lost they're nerve.
COMPANY Not a lot.
NARRATOR AND COMPANY And they/we reached the right conclusions And they/we got what they/we deserved!
ALL Not a sigh and not a sorrow, Tenderness and laughter. Joy today and bliss tomorrow, And forever after!
FLORINDA I was greedy.
LUCINDA I was vain.
FLORINDA I was haughty.
LUCINDA I was smug.
BOTH We were happy.
LUCINDA It was fun.
FLORINDA But we were blind.
BOTH Then we went into the woods To get our wish, And now we're really blind.
WITCH 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.
FLORINDA AND LUCINDA We're unworthy.
FLORINDA, LUCINDA, WITCH We're/I'm unhappy now, unhappy hence, As well as ever after. Had we used our common sense, Been worthy of our discontents, We'd be happy.
ALL 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,- 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 And happy ever after!
