This song is partly based on a poem of unknown origin
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Up and down we used to ride, those painted ponies side by side.
You and I, at the age of ten. We rode those horses again and again.
Never tiring of that musical strain, that played the same sweet refrain.
But now we’ve grown, ten years gone by. Since we rode our mounts side by side. {Chorus}
Chorus:
1. We’ve lost the dreams that we once had. Of fairy tales with endings never sad.
2,3. Why can’t we find
But see the carousel of galloping steeds. All broken and rusted and covered by weeds.
Verse 2:
Engraved upon my memory, a night so filled with fantasy.
Long after dark, at the amusement park. It began to storm, and the night grew warm.
Lightning danced upon the merry-go-round. Then the thundering roar of hooves beating the ground. As we rode up and down, and round and round. To the magical sound of the
merry-go-round. {Chorus}
Verse 3:
We have parted you and I. And like the horses our dreams have died.
Musical interlude. {Chorus}
