Happily Ever After

[Verse 1] Twas winter twenty-eighteen, our first little date, Maybe it was chance… or maybe it was fate. My first time at Starbucks, I patiently waited, Anxious and cautious, excited, elated. You walked through the doorway with class and with grace, Bundled in winter gear, that heavenly face. I rose just to greet you, a warm soft embrace, Your gentle aroma surrounding the space. [Pre-Chorus] Pulled out your chair, ordered coffee to drink, Friendship or romance—what were we to think? A smile would appear with each small talk reply, Lost in the beauty of your deep blue eyes. [Chorus] And I’m still replaying that night in my mind, The moment I wondered what we two might find. Was it your laughter, your sweetness, your style? ’Cause I walked to my car with that lingering smile. Could this be the start of a love we’d chase after— Maybe the beginning of Happily Ever After? [Verse 2] We talked for a while then we stepped to the street, Hoping the night held more moments to meet. Under the stars as the sky turned to dark, Christmas lights glowing through chilly Gage Park. Walking so closely, just listening contently, Catching each gesture you’d offer so gently. Then after our stroll, I walked you to your car, You asked with a smile, “Did you park very far?” [Pre-Chorus] I said I’d be fine, just to wander my thoughts, Let every moment sink in as I walked. Excited and puzzled at what this could be, Already hoping for date number three. [Chorus] And I’m still replaying that night in my mind, The moment I wondered what we two might find. Was it your eyes or your voice full of laughter— Could this be the start of our Happily Ever After? Still walking, still thinking, still wearing that smile, Letting that first winter evening linger awhile. [Outro] Was it your eyes, your demeanor, your laughter? Maybe—just maybe—our Happily Ever After.
