Have you ever seen the sunset
In your lover's eyes?
Did you ever wish the 'morrow
Instead of for tonight?
And at the end of the day
Did you kiss life away?
Say it's all gonna end
Happily ever after--
Forever after?

And did you ever notice
The cowboy's pride?
That at the end of the day
He still rides into the sunset,
He always gets the girl,
But he's never quite sure--
Why he doesn't want her anymore.
And when she goes away
He promises not to stray,
Tells her it's all gonna end
Happily ever after--
Forever after.

And did you look him in the eye
And know it was a lie?
That at the end of the day
We kiss life away
And say it's all gonna end
Happily ever after.

Never after.
