Lyrics: Alan Menken/Glenn Slater
Music: Alan Menken/Glenn Slater
This is life after happily ever after
And it's all just as sweet as the stories say
I feel wild free as like as can be
Many 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 balls
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 misses 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
