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
