[00:33.48]I wanted the music to play on forever
[00:43.38]Have I stayed too long at the fair?
[00:52.59]I wanted the clown to be constantly clever
[01:00.06]Have I stayed too long at the fair?
[01:09.36]I bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair,
[01:17.34]But I couldn't find anybody to care;
[01:22.65]The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt now
[01:37.47]Have I stayed too long at the fair?
[01:39.39]The music has stop and the children must go now
[01:55.86]Have I stayed too long at the fair?
[02:03.96]Oh, mother dear, I know you're very proud,
[02:07.50]Your little girl and kingdom is so far above the crowd;
[02:12.93]No, daddy dear, You never could have known
[02:19.89]That I would be successful, yet so very much alone...
[02:29.25]I wanted to live in a carnival city,
[02:34.17]With laughter and love everywhere;
[02:38.40]I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty,
[02:43.80]I wanted somebody to care;
[02:51.48]I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new
[02:57.93]But now I discover them no longer blue...
[03:04.41]The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me,
[03:19.23]Have I stayed too long at the fair?
[03:30.21]There's nothing to win
[03:37.29]And there's no one to want me
[03:37.89]Have I stayed too long at the fair?

I wanted the music to play on forever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I wanted the clown to be constantly clever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair,
But I couldn't find anybody to care;
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
The music has stop and the children must go now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
Oh, mother dear, I know you're very proud,
Your little girl and kingdom is so far above the crowd;
No, daddy dear, You never could have known
That I would be successful, yet so very much alone...

But now I discover them no longer blue...
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me,
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
There's nothing to win
And there's no one to want me
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
