Prologue: So Happy

Once upon a time, later
 I wish (in the same far-off kingdom)
 More than anything, more than life (lived a young princess)
 (The lad Jack) More than footmen
 I wish (and the baker and his family)
 No I miss (I wish)
 More than anything (more than the moon)
 There, there
 I wish to sponsor a festival
 More than life (I miss)
 The time has come for a festival
 (More than riches) and a ball
 I miss my kingdom up in the sky (more than anything)
 I wish we had more room (Play, harp)
 Another room
 ♪
 But despite some minor inconveniences, they were all content
 I never thought I'd wed a prince
 I never thought I'd find perfection
 I never thought I could be so happy
 Not an unhappy moment since (I didn't think we'd be this rich)
 Not a conceivable objection (I never thought we'd have a baby)
 I never thought I could be so happy
 Happy now, happy hence, happy ever after
 We're so happy you're so happy
 Just as long as you stay happy, we'll stay happy
 Not one row
 Pots of pence
 With my cow
 Little gurgles
 Darling, I must go now
 We should really sell it
 Where's the cheesecloth
 Wishes may bring problems such that you regret them
 Better that though than to never get them
 I'm going to be a perfect wife (I'm going to be a perfect son)
 I'm going to be a perfect mother (I'm going to be a perfect father)
 I'm going to see she is so happy (I'm going to see he is so happy)
 I never thought I'd love my life
 I would have settled for another
 Then to become a wife
 Then to set for life
 Then to beget a child
 That fortune smiled, I'm so happy
 If only this cottage were a little larger
 I will expand our quarters in due time
 Why would we expand when we could simply move to another cottage?
 We will not move. This was my father's house, now it will be my son's
 You would raise your child alongside a witch?
 Why does he always cry when I hold him?
 Babies cry, he's fine. You needn't hold him as if he were so fragile
 He wants his mother. Here
 I can't take care of him all the time
 I'll care for him when he's older
 We had to go through thick and thin
 We had to lose a lot to win
 I ventured out and saw within
 I never thought I'd be so much I hadn't been
 I'm so happy
 ♪
 Oh my goodness
 Are you alright?
 I think so
 And the baby?
 Yes, he's fine. Are you alright?
 You. Have you done this to our house?
 Always thinkin' of yourself. Look at my garden
 What of your garden?
 Look!
 Destroyed
 What has happened?
 I was thrown to the ground, I saw nothing
 What could do such a thing?
 An earthquake
 No earthquake. My garden has been trampled, those are footprints
 Who could do such a thing?
 Anything that leaves a footprint that large is no who
 Do you think it was a bear?
 A bear? Bears are sweet
 Besides you ever see a bear with 40-foot feet?
 A dragon?
 No scorch marks, usually they're linked
 Manticore?
 Imaginary
 Griffin?
 Extinct!
 Giant?
 Possible. Very very possible
 More than possible, their fears would prove to be well-founded
 
 Into the woods, it's always when
 You think, at last, you're through and then
 Into the woods, you go again to take another journey
 Into the woods, the weather's clear,
 We've been before we've naught to fear
 Into the woods away from here
 Into the woods to find a giant
 Into the woods to Grandmother's house
 Into the woods, the path is straight, no reason then to hesitate
 Into the woods, it's not so late, it's just another journey
 Into the woods, but not too long
 The skies are strange, the winds are strong
 Into the woods to see what's wrong
 Into the woods to slay the giant
 Into the woods to shield the child
 To flee the winds
 To find a future
 To shield, to slay, to flee, to find
 To fix, to hide, to move
 To battle, to see what the trouble is
