I Stayed Too Long At The Fair (Live) - Barbra Streisand
Written by：Barnes William C
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 slow 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 picktale 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
