Ever After Lyrics - Into The Woods - Original Broadway Cast Recording

Every night when i was young we light a candle by my bed 

I look at all the stars he painted high above my head 

He said everyone, a symbol of a lesson he would teach 

And he painted some all down my wall 

so I'd have so right in reach 

It wasn't long before they all came down 

Stepmother said that they were gouche and she erased them 

And though I haven't wished upon my father's star in years I can count how many thousand times we trace them 

And it makes me want to cry 

But I'm anything but sad for you answered me a prayer today I didn't know I had 

I searched everywhere 

I could I looked everywhere I knew 

And for so long he was nowhere to be found 

But here all I have to do is look around 

And I remember 

I did just what I was told 

And I didn't say a thing 

I thought living in the past would be unwise 

But here all I have to do is close my eyes 

And I remember 

And here inside the quiet in this universe of words 

And the stories that we never got to share 

Oh I never I'd need it 

Love I thought that I have lost is everywhere 

Everywhere
