Ever, Ever After
Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true
Deep down inside we want to believe they still do
And a secret is taught, it's our favorite part of the story
Let's just admit we all want to make it too
She smiled as she walked down the aisle. Her father gave her away. They said their vows. It was their perfect day. They went on the perfect honey moon in Hawaii. They loved each other with every fiber in their bodies. They always had, since they first laid eyes on each other in that ski lodge where that damn man made them get on that stage to sing. Thank God for him. She smiled, his name was Rick and he was here on their day, he'd brought them together 9 years ago.
Ever, ever after
If we just don't get it our own way
Ever, ever after
It may only be a wish away
They rushed to the hospital at 3 in the morning, she was screaming in pain. After 13 hours of the seemingly endless pain, she held him in her arms for the first time. Her baby boy. She looked up at her husband of 5 years and smiled. He smiled down, he was so proud, so happy. Their life was complete, they had a beautiful baby boy.
Start a new fashion, wear your heart on your sleeve
Sometimes you reach what's real just by making believe
Unafraid, unashamed
There is joy to be claimed in this world
You even might wind up being glad to be you
He was scared, he didn't know what to do. He had this passion, this passion he didn't want to keep bottled up inside of him, but he was the captain of the basketball team. His dad was the coach. His mom was a science teacher. They wouldn't want him to sing, would they. Finally he bucked up the courage to ask them. To his surprise they smiled.
"Did you know, son, that your mother and I were in a musical or two in high school?" his father told him at dinner.
"What?"
"Oh, yeah baby. We did our share of singing. And I was on the Decathlon team and your daddy was the captain of his basketball team." His mother smiled at his concern
"But the cliques…" he whined
"We made it past them with no problem, you can too. Talk to your friends. Tell them how you feel. Trust me when I say, they're parent will hurt them if they have a problem with it." His father told him.
Ever, ever after
Though the world will tell you it's not smart
Ever, ever after
The world can be yours if you let your heart
Believe in ever, ever after
He came running into the science room, "Mom, we got it! We got the leads, we're going to be in the play."
His mother turned around and smiled, he smiled when he saw his dad was there too, "Congratulations baby." She cooed
"Mom I'm not a baby."
"Oh, sorry my bad." She smirked, he gave both her and his father a huge hug.
No wonder your heart feels it's flying
Your head feels it's spinning
Each happy ending's a brand new beginning
Let yourself be enchanted, you just might break through
She cried as she watched him up at the alter. He was waiting on her to be walked down the aisle. She clung to her husband's hand as she watched their son move on. Sure he'd gone to college, sure he'd gotten his own apartment, but now she was losing him to another woman. This was an entirely new challenge.
To ever, ever after
Forever could even start today
Ever, ever after
Maybe it's just one wish away
Your ever, ever after
She smiled down at the baby girl in her arms, her granddaughter. It was surreal, she remembered being in here just 30 years ago, and being handed a beautiful baby boy. She looked up at her husband and began crying, "Oh Troy…" She sobbed
"Yes El, I know, he's really all grown up." Troy comforted her
"I feel so old." She whined
He laughed, "Hey, think of it as a new adventure."
She looked up at him, "What adventure?" she eyed him suspiciously
"At home there are two tickets to England." She gasped, "And that's just the beginning, we're going to travel across Europe, just like we always wanted to do. Happy anniversary El Bell." Troy leaned down and kissed his wife of 35 years.
(I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss)
Tyler Bolton leaned down and gave his tired wife, Lily Baylor Bolton, a kiss on the lips as he handed her their baby girl, Ella Rose Bolton.
Oh, forever ever after…
