As a child, I'd sit by the window Wondering just where you were
As a child, I'd wish on the brightest star Hoping you would hear me from afar
I would write how I would fall in love With a stranger with stars in his eyes
And how he'd take me into his arms And hold me in the moonlight
Happily ever after was all I wanted to be To be carried away in a hero's arms
Happily ever after was all that I could dream Happily ever after was all I needed to be
To take the hand, to call the name Of the man I was in my dreams
In a world where few dreams survive Where fairy tales are words that we read
I have kept you safe inside my heart Till this moment right here, right now
I looked into his eyes and saw All that I have ever wished for
My heart is telling me it's a dream But a dream is all I wished for
Happily ever after was all I wanted to be To take the hand, to call the name
Of the man of my dreams Happily ever after was all I wanted to be
To take the hand, to call the name Of the man of my dreams
Look at me now, look at me now I'm dancing on the clouds
With the world beneath me and the stars above This is so much more than I dreamed of
Happily ever after was all I wanted to be To be carried away in a hero's arms
Was all that I could dream Happily ever after was all I needed to be
To take the hand, to call the name Of the man of my dreams
