[Mandy Moore:] This is life after happily ever after And it’s all just as sweet as the stories say I feel wild, free, as light as can be I’m ready to explore With nothing at all standing in my way True there are certain customs I have to follow Several small obligations I can’t avoid A few rules to-well, more than a few Commitments by the score Aside from all that though I’m overjoyed And sure there are corsets and buckles and bows Plus all those names to recall Still I can hardly complain I suppose This is happily ever after, after all
[Clancy Brown:] And now that at last you are here in my arms I won’t permit you to fall I must protect you from all the world’s harms We’ll live happily ever after, after all
[Zachary Levi:] Now that we’re living splendidly Our dreams fulfilled extendedly Why leave things open endedly For Rapunzel and moi? Tonight I’ll hand this rose to her Kneel down and then propose to her And give this ring I chose to her Life’s gonna be like strawberry sherbert Once she is Mrs. Eugene Fitzherbert Once she is Princess Eugene Fitzherbert
[Both:] This is life after happily ever after And our story has finally reached its end [Zachary Levi:] Settling down here [Mandy Moore:] Year upon year [Zachary Levi:] Contented and secure [Mandy Moore:] With dozen of duties we’ll have to tend [Both:] And now that we’ve gotten the dream that we chose Now that we’re in for the haul Now our adventures can come to a close Living happily ever after, after all
[Mandy Moore:] Now that I’ve gotten the dream that I choose Why does my world feel so small? If this is it And it is I suppose Is this happily ever after, after all?
