Don't ask me why, I'm running out laughter 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 safety 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
So don't ask my why, I'm running out 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
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
