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

And 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, but soon forever
While they're sitting comfortably
In that white winter city
How can we be happy ever after

So 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, that maybe you and me
And I thought, we'd be happy ever after
