I wanted the music to play on forever |
|
Have I stayed too long at the fair? |
|
I wanted the clown to be constantly clever |
|
Have I stayed too long at the fair? |
|
I bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair, |
|
But I couldn't find anybody to care; |
|
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt now |
|
Have I stayed too long at the fair? |
|
The music has stop and the children must go now |
|
Have I stayed too long at the fair? |
|
Oh, mother dear, I know you're very proud, |
|
Your little girl and kingdom is so far above the crowd; |
|
No, daddy dear, You never could have known |
|
That I would be successful, yet so very much alone... |
|
I wanted to live in a carnival city, |
|
With laughter and love everywhere; |
|
I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty, |
|
I wanted somebody to care; |
|
I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new |
|
But now I discover them no longer blue... |
|
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me, |
|
Have I stayed too long at the fair? |
|
There's nothing to win |
|
And there's no one to want me |
|
Have I stayed too long at the fair? |
