Confetti on the floor of the high school gym
|
boy meets girl and girl meets him
|
he takes her hand and they dance together
|
she says, "This is our song,"
|
and it's theirs forever
|
|
This old world is a merry-go-round
|
with painted horses going up and down
|
oceans of tears gales of laughter
|
once in a while someone lives
|
happily ever after
|
|
This world seems cruel at your first glance
|
look again it's like a dance
|
once you've had a good long gaze
|
It seems we all starr in our very own plays
|
|
This old is a merry-to-round
|
with painted horses going up and down
|
oceans of tears gales of laughter
|
once in a while someone lives
|
happily ever after
|
|
We grow out of the days like moth-eaten sweater
|
Half of the time things change for the better
|
Wait for a call, look for a letter
|
It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings
|
yeah...
|
|
Finishing's harder than beginning
|
being good's not as fun as sinning
|
being right's not as good as winning
|
It's best to be the one that ends up grinning
|
|
This old world is a merry-go-round
|
with painted horses going up and down
|
oceans of tears gales of laughter
|
once in a while someone lives
|
happily ever after
|
yeah, yeah
|
|
This old world is a merry-go-round
|
with painted horses going up and down
|
oceans of tears gales of laughter
|
once in a while someone lives
|
happily ever after
|
