[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
Will this day ever slow down?
Riding on this merry-go-round
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
"Come on, I'll show you how to ride
This merry-go-round"
[Chorus 1]
Will this day ever slow down?
Riding on this merry-go-round
