Watching the time go by And wondering why I'm thinking 'bout you Cause the memory burns As I watch the sunrise again Turnin' around in my mind As the heat of the morning - wonder, sunshine Moves the memory of you Visions on a merry-go-'round Ahh, turning around and around My key's the shining of your soul Anywhere you may be right now I hope you can hear the prayer of my heart Tell me how long you will take to know 'Cause it's hard being farther apart Over and over again I was tellin' me I gotta gotta let go And I want you to know I will always be here for you Ahh, turning around and around Lucky I was to once have you near Anywhere you may be right now I hope you can hear the prayer of my heart Tell me how long you will take to know 'Cause it's hard being farther apart Here I go, up and down once more Riding on this merry-go-'round I just have for you this prayer in my heart 'Cause it's hard being so far apart Spinning 'round and 'round Will it be now or never when I can look into your eyes with my own Wanting only you to know how I care 'Cause I just loved you right from the start Here I go, up and down once more Riding on this merry-go-'round I just have for you this prayer in my heart 'Cause it's hard being so far apart Merry-go-'round Merry-go-'round
