LYRIC FOR SALE

By TUTONI

If you ever pass through here again
Or are visiting the very next town
I hope you'll remember the times gone by
Trapeze artists,jugglers and clowns
For it was twenty years ago this week
That the carnival landed here
It seemed like another world to me
If my recollections are clear

CHORUS
The circus is a childhood dream
Something long ago and past
But that don't mean the memories are gone
Yes the memories are gonna last
Oh the circus
Oh the circus

VERSE 2
It wasn't only that week I recall
But some of the best days of my life
When you and I were teenage friends
No doubt now you're somebody's wife
We'd sit outside as it got dark
And watch the coloured lights shine
I only hoped at that very point
Someone would stop all time

CHORUS
The circus is a childhood dream
Something long ago and past
But don't mean the memories are gone
Yes the memories are gonna last
Oh the circus
Oh the circus

VERSE 3
At the end of the week when the tents were gone
The ringmaster had left the sand
The greasepaint had been taken off
But I still don't understand
Why we never ever met again
And though you had just departed
I wrote and phoned and no reply
You left me brokenhearted

CHORUS
The circus is a childhood dream
Something long ago and past
But that don't mean the memories are gone
Yes the memories are gonna last
Oh the circus
Oh the circus
