Carousel Ride

Carousel Ride

Handsome Steed upon brass pole
Color black and mane of gold
Saddle red with reins of brown

Forever circling ...
Round and Round

Tiger striped with colors bold
With snarling fangs you ride the pole
In children's dreams you can be found

Slowly moving ...
Round and Round

Swans of white with seat between
So much a part of lover's dreams
You too hold a spot on this magic stage
To preserve the promise of this day

Bright flashing lights
Red white and blue
Laughter at the sight of you

Joyous hearts and hopes abound

As you circle ...
Round and Round

A child's first ride
A memory made
To be called upon another day

Parents just behind the scenes
Remembering now their childhood dreams

Music swells and laughter sings
Arms outstretched for your brass ring
Figures moving up and down

Ever circling ...
Round and Round

Zebras Lions Swans and Steeds
Forever play in children's dreams
Preserve the past of memories found
As you turn slowly round and round

Dear Carousel you are a sight
That fills the heart with pure delight
Some say your age is almost gone
How I pray that they are wrong

In this world of fears and woes
It is of comfort for the heart to know
That great pleasure can still be truly found
In a simple ride

... Just moving ...

Round and Round
