Don't ask me why I'm running
out of laughter
There's tears in these eyes
not happy ever after
And I thought it was plain
to see
And I thought the whole
world could be
And I thought we'd be happy
ever after
You could say that I'm living
in a pipe dream
It's just looking back things
are never what they seem
And I hope I can safely say
And I hope most things go
my way
And I hope they'll be happy
ever after
Down in Southern Africa no
happy ever after
Not now to soon
forever
While they're sitting
comfortably
In that white winter city
How can we be happy
ever after
Down in Southern Africa no
happy ever after
Not now to soon
forever
While they're sitting comfortably
In that white winter city
How can we be happy
ever after
