So Happy (Prologue Act II)

(Once upon a time later)

I wish

(In that same far-off kingdom)

More than anything (lived a young princess)

More than life

(The lad Jack)

More than footmen

I wish

(And the baker with his family)

No, I miss

I wish

More than anything

More than the moon (there, there)

I wish to sponsor a festival

More than life

I miss

The time has come for a festival

More than riches

And a ball

I miss my kingdom up in the sky

More than anything

I wish we had more room

Another room

But despite some minor inconveniences

They were all quite content

I never thought I'd wed a prince

I never thought I'd find perfection

I never thought I could be so happy

Not an unhappy moment since

I didn't think we'd be this rich

Not a conceivable objection

I never thought we'd have a baby

I didn't know I could be so happy

I'm so happy

Happy now

Happy hence

Happy ever after

We're so happy, you're so happy

Just as long as you stay happy

We'll stay happy

Not one row

Pots of pence

With my cow

Little gurgles

Darling, I must go now

We should really sell it

Where's the cheesecloth?

Wishes may bring problems

Such that you regret them

Better that, though

Than to never to get them

I'm going to be a perfect wife

I'm going to be the perfect son

I'm going to be a perfect mother

I'm going to be a perfect father

I'm going to see that she is so happy

I never thought I'd love my life

I would have settled for another

Then to become a wife

And then to be set for life

Then to beget a child

That fortune smiled

I'm so hap-

Have you done this to our house?

Always thinking of yourself

Look at my garden

Destroyed!

Who could do such a thing?

Do you think it was a bear?

A bear? Bears are sweet

Besides, you ever see a bear with 40-foot feet?

Dragon?

No scorch marks

Usually they're linked

Manticore?

Imaginary

Griffin?

Extinct

Giant?

Possible

Very, very possible

More than possible

Their fears would prove to be well-founded

Into the woods

It's always when

You think at last

You're through, and then

Into the woods you go again

To take another journey

Into the woods

The weather's clear

We've been before

We've naught to fear

Into the woods, away from here

Into the woods to find a giant

Into the woods to Grandmother's house

Into the woods

The path is straight

No reason then to hesitate

Into the woods

It's not too late

It's just another journey

Into the woods

But not too long

The skies are strange

The winds are strong

Into the woods to see what's wrong

Into the woods

To slay the giant

Into the woods

To shield the child

To flee the winds

To find a future

To shield

To slay

To flee

To fly

To fix

To hide

To move

To battle

To see what the trouble is
