open my eyes and let me in something inside me seem so sad i need to feel i need to see something so amusing to bring out the laughing boy in me will this day ever slow down riding on this merry go round the parade rolls into town giant floats and big balloons but no funny clowns to amuse me there she stands beneath the oak tree ankle high in confetti with the most beautiful man a smile on my face a smile on his face come on i ll show you how to ride this merry go round  will this day ever slow down riding on this merry go round
