Lyrics
- She's from a world
- Of popcorn and candy
- Pony rides for a dime
- Little children laughing
- I'm from a world
- Of disapointments and confusions
- But I want her to be mine
- I started talking
- She kept on walking
- She disappeared into the crowd
- I lost my heart
- On the carousel
- To a circus girl
- Who left my heart in pieces
- Lost my heart
- On The carousel
- To a circus girl
- Who ran away.
- I was the clown
- And she was the dancer
- We both knew it wouldn't work
- But we took our chances
- What I can't recall
- Is if there was a girl at all
- Or was it my imagination?
- I still remember
- All of those faces
- And now all I have is memories.
- I lost my heart
- On the carousel
- To a circus girl
- Who left my heart in pieces
- Lost my heart
- On The carousel
- To a circus girl
- Who ran away.
- Two different people
- In love for an instant
- To see that the circus came today
- Sometimes I can hear her crying here
- And I can hear her calling me.
- Don't you know?
- I lost my heart
- On the carousel
- To a circus girl
- Who left my heart in pieces
- Lost my heart
- On The carousel
- To a circus girl
- Who ran away
