From the recording Family Portraits (Volume IV)
A bittersweet look back at a past relationship that failed -- from the vantage view of a successful current relationship.
Lyrics
All’s Well That Ends Well
Life can be dull, don’t you think?
What can we do about it?
We can drown our sorrows
Imagine a new tomorrow?
And the grass looks green
When the future is unseen
When you have all the answers
Take a chance, take a gamble
Foregone denouement
When you tell yourself
Your new life
Justifies
The means and ends
Pretend to all your friends
A happy end where
All’s well that ends well
Life can be hard, don’t you think?
Why don’t you and I get a drink?
We can live the life of Riley
A bed of roses to lie in
Just around the corner
The weather is always so much warmer
And you’re just so bored, yeah?
Roll the dice, bet your life…
Foregone denouement
When you tell yourself
Your new life
Justifies
The means and end
Pretend to all your friends
A happy end where
All’s well that ends well
To stay ain’t the same
As playing it safe
To leave looks so easy
But the genie in the bottle won’t go back in
Foregone denouement
When you tell yourself
Your new life
Justifies
The means and ends
Pretend to all your friends
A happy end where
All’s well that ends well
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now, now, now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now, now, now?
