Lyrics

If this were one of those
Words and music shows
With a book, so alleged
This would be the spot
Where into the plot
The theme song would be wedged
And then you would discover
A maid and her lover
Beneath that well-know moon
As writers say, to her he’d croon

Chorus
Wait for the happy ending
You’ll find your troubles mending
No matter how dark everything looks
It’s bound to end well
Like good plays and books
It may seem uncertain
But with the last curtain
There comes the happy ending
And everything turns out all right
