Hmmm...hmmm...
|
Hmmm...hmmm...
|
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 brought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair,
|
But I couldn't find anybody to care;
|
The merry-go-round is beginning to slow 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?
