The Journey to a Happy Ending

Who knows where this path will lead
To my prince charming on his noble steed?
Or the Valley of Sorrows where my heart will bleed?
Either way, I'll plant the seed
And hope for a happy ending.

Rid me of this fruity smell
Past experience has been hell
So I'll sit here spinning tales to tell
That make this seem like all will be well
I'll have my happy ending.

Love can be kind, love can be cruel
Now tell me if I'd be a fool
To take up this love like a precious jewel
Hold it to my heart, calm and cool
And call it a happy ending.
