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