Barbra Streisand - 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 in gingham is so far above the crowd;
No, daddy dear, you never could have known
That i would be successful, yet so very much alone...
I wanted to live in a carnival city,
With laughter and love everywhere;
I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty,
I wanted somebody to care;
I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new
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?
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 in gingham is so far above the crowd;
No, daddy dear, you never could have known
That i would be successful, yet so very much alone...
I wanted to live in a carnival city,
With laughter and love everywhere;
I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty,
I wanted somebody to care;
I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new
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?
