MEMORIES OF MY PAST

MEMORIES OF MY PAST


THERE WAS A MERRY- GO -ROUND
ON OUR SCHOOL PLAYGROUND
AND HOW I WANTED TO GET ON
AND RIDE

TO FEEL THE WIND BLOWING
THROUGH MY LONG BLONDE
HAIR

YOU HAD TO BE FAST TO CATCH
THE BAR AS IT CAME AROUND
TO YOU

YOU REACH YOUR ARM OUT TO
GRAB THE STEEL ROD WITH ALL
YOUR STRENGTH

THERE YOU WERE SAILING AS THE
MERRY-GO-ROUND MADE IT'S CIRCLE
FOR THE NEXT CHILD TO GRAB
A RIDE

LAUGHING AND DREAMING LIKE
ONLY A CHILD DID IN OUR PAST
WISHING THE MERRY-GO-ROUND
RIDE COULD LAST FOREVER
