Any Moment/Moments in the Woods

Lyrics

Spoken Prolouge [BAKER'S WIFE] Uh, hello your highness. You must be here to help slay the giant [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Yeah. The giant. I am here to slay the giant. And what are you doing alone in the woods? [BAKER'S WIFE] Oh, well um, I came with my husband [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] He lets you roam alone in the woods? [BAKER'S WIFE] No, no, it was actually my choice [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] How brave [BAKER'S WIFE] Brave? [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Yes Any Moment [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Anything can happen in the woods May I kiss you? Any moment, we could be crushed Don't feel rushed Cinderella's prince kisses the baker's wife's nеck. She pulls away [BAKER'S WIFE] This is ridiculous What am I doing here? I'm in thе wrong story! Cinderella's prince and the baker's wife kiss (spoken) Wait, one moment, please! We can't do this! You have a princess [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE, spoken] Yeah, yeah, yeah I do [BAKER'S WIFE, spoken] And I-I have a [?] How foolish [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE, spoken] How foolish (sung) Foolishness can happen in the woods Once again, please Let your hesitations be hushed Any moment, big or small Is a moment after all Seize the moment; skies may fall Any moment Cinderella's prince and the baker's wife kiss [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Right and wrong don't matter in the woods Only feelings Let us meet the moment unblushed Life is often so unpleasant You must know that, as a peasant Best to take a moment present As a present, for the moment Cinderella's prince and the baker's wife kiss. The prince's phone begins to ring [BAKER'S WIFE, spoken] Uh [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE, spoken] (speaking into the phone) Hey, are you doing okay? Did you read our story? The audience exclaims (to the audience) Shh! (to the phoen) Did you change the poopy diaper? Give me just one second (to the baker's wife) Hey I must leave you [BAKER'S WIFE, spoken] Uh, leave? Why? [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE, spoken] You know the giant [BAKER'S WIFE, spoken] The giant right [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE, spoken] Yeah, yeah [BAKER'S WIFE, spoken] Of course, I almost forgot Will we find each other in the woods again? [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] This was just a moment in the woods Our moment Shimmering and lovely and sad Leave the moment, just be glad For the moment that we had Every moment is of moment When you're in the woods (spoken) I shall never forget you and how brave you are and how alive you've made me feel... but I really have to take this call. So I gotta go [BAKER'S WIFE, spoken] Okay Moments in the Woods [BAKER'S WIFE, spoken] What was that? (sung) 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
