Julia Fordham - Happy Ever After lyrics

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, but soon forever

While they're sitting comfortably

In that white winter city

How can we be happy ever after?

Um by yay

Est ce le South Africa

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.

Um by yay

Um by yay

Um by yay

Est ce le South Africa
