I Stayed Too Long At The Fair (Album Version)

I Stayed Too Long At The Fair - Barbra Streisand

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 taunt 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 gingham 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 hound 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
