We went to a carnivalAnd we took a ride on a carouselYou went up and I went downAnd the world went spinning roundThose endless summer daysThey seem so far awayIt seems so long agoSince you came out to playWe went to a carnivalAnd we took a ride on a carouselYou went up and I went downAnd the world went spinning roundNow the playground's emptyThe crowds have gone awayThe gates are locked up tightAnd rain is here to stayWe went to a carnivalAnd we took a ride on a carouselYou went up and I went downAnd the world went spinning roundNow just the other dayI thought I heard the music playAnd now my life has changedThe carnivals here to stay
