[Intro]
Eb
[Spoken]
What was that?
Eb
Was that me?
Was that him?
Did a prince really kiss me?
And kiss me?
And kiss me?
Bb
And did I kiss him back?
Ab
Was it wrong?
Am I mad?
Is that all?
Does he miss me?
Gb
Was he suddenly
Getting bored with me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
Wake up!
Stop dreaming
Stop prancing about the woods
It's not beseeming
What is it about the woods?
[Chorus]
Bb
Back to life, back to sense
Back to child, back to husband
F
No one lives in the woods
Bb
There are vows, there are ties
There are needs, there are standards
Ab
There are shouldn'ts and shoulds
[Post-Chorus]
Bb
Why not both instead?
Eb
There's the answer, if you're clever
Bb
Have a child for warmth
And a baker for bread
And a prince for whatever
Never!
Bb
It's these woods
[Chorus]
Bb
Face the facts, find the boy
Join the group, stop the giant
F
Just get out of these woods
Bb
Was that him?
Yes, it was
Was that me?
No, it wasn't
Ab
Just a trick of the woods
[Post-Chorus]
Bb
Just a moment
One peculiar passing moment
Bb
Must it all be either less or more?
Either plain or grand?
Is it always "or?"
Is it never "and?"
Eb F
That's what woods are for
Bb
For those moments in the woods
[Bridge]
Eb F
Oh, if life were made of moments
Bb
Even now and then a bad one!
Eb F
But if life were only moments
Bb
Then you'd never know you had one
[Chorus]
Bb
First a witch, then a child
Then a prince, then a moment
F
Who can live in the woods?
Bb
And to get what you wish
Only just for a moment
Ab
These are dangerous woods
[Post-Chorus]
Bb
Let the moment go
Eb
Don't forget it for a moment, though
Bb
Just remembering you've had an "and"
When you're back to "or"
Makes the "or" mean more
Than it did before
Eb F
Now I understand
Bb
And it's time to leave the woods
[Outro]
Bb
