Under the Circus Lights

Once upon a summer A traveling circus came to town From the land down under And I was filled with wonder When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze Tear through the air with the greatest of ease I got cotton candy And then in a daze, I met her gaze And she winked right at me And my heart pounded madly When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze Capture the crowd with the greatest of ease She was a light in a dark lullaby That girl was raised by a butterfly I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly And under the circus lights I must have fallen in love that night Lighter than a feather But careful, as with a heavy heart She seemed to fall forever And then I wondered whether I noticed the girl on the flying trapeze Blink back a tear with the greatest of ease And she took my breath away Oh, so grand and graceful Confetti rained as she climbed through the air Like a homesick angel "She makes heartache painful" I thought as the girl on the flying trapeze Melted my heart with the greatest of ease What a display of rosé poetry What a majestic menagerie I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly And under the circus lights I must have fallen in love that night (Ladies and gentlemen) (Welcome to the most spectacular show on Earth) And she took my breath away I was so enamored And she took my breath away All that glitz and glamor And she took my breath away I was so enamored And that's how the girl on the flying trapeze Knocked me off my feet with the greatest of ease And then with a charming sweetness She smiled and waved and took a bow For a crowd stunned speechless And I was charmed to pieces When the girl on the flying trapeze Magically dissolved like a song on the breeze And simply broke my heart with the greatest of ease We shook the floor with a roar of applause She seemed to drown in the oohs and ahs I hung around 'til the clowns tore the big top down And soon it was almost dawn I looked and looked but the girl was gone Deep down I felt kinda blue for a day or two Then clear as a bell, I knew I would run away with the circus too
