Did I abuse her or show her disdain
Why does she run from me
If I should lose her how shall I regain
The heart she has won from me
Agony, beyond power of speech
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach

High in her tower she sits by the hour

High in a tower like yours was but higher
A beauty asleep
All 'round the tower a thicket of briar
A hundred feet deep
Agony, no frustration more keen
When the one thing you want
Is a thing that you've not even seen

I've found a casket entirely of glass
No, it's

How do you say to your child in the night?
Nothing's all black, but then nothing's all white
How do you say it will all be all right
When you know that it might not be true?
What do you do?

Careful the things you say
Children will listen
Careful the things you do

[Baker & Baker's Wife]
(Maybe I just wasn't meant to have children)
Don't say that! Of course you were meant to have children
(But how can I go about being a father
When I had no father to show me?)
Just calm the child
(Yes, calm the child)
Look, tell him the stor

There are giants in the sky!
There are big tall terrible giants
In the sky!

When you're way up high
And you look below
At the world you left
And the things you know,
Little more than a glance
Is enough to show
You just how small you are.

When you're wa

Mother said straight ahaid
Not to delay or be mislead
I should have heeded her advice
But he seemed so nice

And he showed me things
Many beautiful things
That I hadn't thought to explore

They were off my path
So I never had dared
I had been so careful

[Baker's Wife]
You've changed
You're daring
You're different in the woods

More sure
More sharing
You're getting us through the woods

If you could see-
You're not the man who started
And much more openhearted
Than I knew
You to be

[Baker]

It's the last midnight
It's the last wish
It's the last midnight
Soon it will be boom-
Squish!
Told a little lie
Stole a little gold
Broke a little vow
Did you?

Had to get your prince
Has to get your cow
Have to get your wish
Doesn't matter how-<

[Cinderella]
Mother cannot guide you
Now you're on you're own
Only me beside you
Still, you're not alone
No one is alone, truly
No one is alone

(I wish) I know

[Cinderella & Baker]
Mother isn't here now
(Wrong things, right things)
Who knows wh

He's a very smart prince
He's a prince who prepares
Knowing this time I'd run from him
He spread pitch on the stairs
And I'm caught unawares
Well it means that he cares
This is more than just malice
Better stop and take stock
While you're standing here stuck
O

Once upon a time
In a far-off kingdom
There lay a small village
At the edge of the woods
I wish
And in this village
More than anything

Lived a young maiden
More than life
More than jewels
A carefree young lad
I wish
More than life
And a child

What did I clearly say?
Children must listen
No, no, please!
What were you not to do?
Childrem must see

No!
And learn
Why could you not obey?
Children should listen
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be?
Handsome like a prince?

Ah,

No matter what you say
Children won't listen
No matter what you know
Children refuse
To learn

Guide them along the way
Still they don't listen
Children can only grow
From something you love
To something you lose

[Jack]
But it isn't my fault
I was given those beans!
You persuaded me to trade away
My cow for beans!
And without those beans
There'd have been no stalk
To get up to the giant's
In the first place!

[Baker]
Wait a minute, magic beans
For a cow so old
