(Have) I Stayed Too Long At The Fair (Album Version) - Rosemary Clooney (蘿絲瑪莉·克魯妮)

Written by：William Barnes

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 the 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 gingham is so far above the crowd

No daddy dear

You never could have known

That I would be successful

And so very much alone

Here in New York

I'm many words away

From people who are dear to me

Here in New York

I'm learning everyday

I'll very sad and come home can be

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 it was easy to capture sucess

But now I'll be willing to settle for nights

The nights of the mean way

A feeling above me

Have I stayed too long at the fair

I better run home

To the people who love me

For I've stayed too long at the fair
