Happily Ever After (Now And Then) 

By: Jimmy Buffett 

1996 

I've been a stand-in, a stunt man 

I've takin' some falls 

Troubles... I've had my share 

But one has to learn how to run before walkin' 

'Round breathin' that million air 



Take it from me cuz I found 

If you leave it then somebody else is bound 

To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure 

When yours, it could have been 



Some people never find it 

Some... only pretend, but me: 

I just want to live happily ever after every now and then 



I've been in vans and in bands 

On and through stages 

One thing I can conclude 

One has to learn havin' fun is just smilin' through 

Those Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes 

Take it from me cuz I've found 

If you leave it then somebody else is bound 

To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure 

When yours, it could have been 



Some people never find it 

Some... only pretend, but me: 

I just want to live happily ever after every now and then 



... PM guitar break ... 



Some people never find it 

Some... only pretend, but me, hell: 

I just want to live happily ever after every now and then 



Every now and then (OOOOoooo...) 

(Every now and then) (OOOOoooo...) 

(Happily ever after every now and then) (OOOOoooo...) 

(Every now and then) (OOOOoooo...) 

(Happily ever after every now and then)
