That Old Carrousel

Each year september
There’s a fair going on
In the market square
Then I remember
How we both fell in love
How it happened there
Love at first sight, on a wonderful starry night
Oh, the trills I found on that merry-go-round!
With no one but you on my side
Holding a candy floss, watching the showmen
An old fortune-teller was reading your hand
Like all young lovers we really were crazy
Twisting and turning and spinning around
Remember that old carroussel
The first time you kissed me I fell
Oh baby, my sweet baby, I loved you so much
I was under your spell
So young and so green just seventeen
A romeo with his belle
Strolling at the fairground
I was lost in a dream
While I searched for you
There in the background
You could hear ballad singers
The songs we knew
