  • “Cowals’ tunes are full and captivating whether he is playing solo acoustic guitar or accompanied by a handful of other talented musicians. The multi-talented artist’s flute work and lackadaisical vocal octave jumps throughout certain songs also give these Biblical verse driven tunes a Dave Matthews feel.” —Kelly O’Neil

Happy Ever After (Live at the Leavitt Wedding)

  • May 22, 2010

  • · Wedding Videos

This is the love song I wrote for Nate & Rayleigh Leavitt’s wedding. It tells the story of how they got together and how (now that they are married) they will live “Happy Ever After”. Rayleigh is a big fan of Owl City so she asked me to write a song reminiscent of his style and this is what I came up with. Congrats you two!

The single is available on iTunes and Amazon: Happy Ever After – Single

Lyrics

Happy Ever After

Purple twinge of twilight fading
Beneath your falling lashes
As you drift off to sleep
May your dreams of happy ever
After, filled with laughter,
Always start and end with me

When we met it wasn’t like
A fairy tale love at first sight
But over time our friendship grew
You saw I was genuine and loving
I found your gentle spirit
And that is how our love first bloomed

Happy ever after
That is all I’m after, after all
I’m so happy ever since we got together
You answered my heart’s call

I know I left you holding
Flower stems with petals falling
Yes he will, no he won’t, oh when will he?
I must beg you for forgiveness
For the doubts that clouded my thinking
It’s clearly you, will you please marry me?

I’m so happy, I’m so happy
I’m so happy, happy endings don’t just happen
In my dreams anymore

I know that we will have our share of good and hard times
Together we can fight off any dragons that might fly by
Though emotions can run hot and cold and dry
I’ll be your knight in shining armor till the end of time

For a limited time you can download my Easter EP "In Their Place" featuring 3 songs from my 2008 "Coffee Shop Songs" CD & 3 songs from the new CD "White" coming out later in 2014. These songs share the power of the cross, Jesus' death and resurrection, and his salvation and amazing grace. I am so thankful that Jesus now intercedes with the Father on our behalf, "When You look at them, see me in their place!"
