Original Broadway Cast Recording - Ever After Lyrics

Every night when i was young we light a candle by my bed
I look at all the stars he painted high above my head
He said everyone, a symbol of a lesson he would teach
And he painted some all down my wall
so I'd have so right in reach

It wasn't long before they all came down
Stepmother said that they were gouche and she erased them
And though I haven't wished upon my father's star in years I can count how many thousand times we trace them
And it makes me want to cry
But I'm anything but sad for you answered me a prayer today I didn't know I had
I searched everywhere
I could I looked everywhere I knew
And for so long he was nowhere to be found
But here all I have to do is look around
And I remember

I did just what I was told
And I didn't say a thing
I thought living in the past would be unwise
But here all I have to do is close my eyes
And I remember

And here inside the quiet in this universe of words
And the stories that we never got to share
Oh I never I'd need it
Love I thought that I have lost is everywhere
Everywhere
