"Happy Ever After" lyrics

Well, I'm so glad last night is over
I thought it would never end
When I stormed out the front door
I'm sure glad you let me back in

And I sat up all night thinkin'
And I feel like I understand
We got to take ahold of this dream
Before it slips right through our hands

So wake up baby, I know it's raining
But still we've got to rise and shine
Because happy ever after
Comes one day at a time

It takes faith, not expectations
And a little hard work sometimes
For every mile we're coasting
There's a mile up ahead to climb

And we've heard 'bout the storybook endings
Where everybody's dreams come true
There ain't no reason in the world girl
It can't happen to me and you

So wake up baby, I know it's raining
But still we've got to rise and shine
'Cause happy ever after
Comes one day at a time

So wake up baby, I know it's raining
But still we've got to rise and shine
Because happy ever after
Comes one day at a time

Wake up baby, I know it's raining
But still we've got to rise and shine
Because happy ever after
Comes one day at a time

Said happy ever after
Comes one day at a time
