Lyrics
Coin for the Carousel
Verse 1 I remember Fairy floss and fireflies
Bumper cars and bright lights
One wild ride you bumping into me
Your perfect, smile with two teeth missing
Eight years old and kissing
Behind the clowns, where my daddy couldn't see
Pre-chorus
Lets go ride the carousel
A coin for me and you as well
Chorus In a moment on a summer's night
I pray it's always gonna feel this right
When the world we know can disappear
We'll ride on till there's no one here
One more wish, one more story we can tell (falsetto)
One more coin for the carousel
Verse 2 Now were eighteen your still smiling at me
You said lets get married
I said sure, but don't let daddy see
Pre-Chorus
Take me back to the carousel
A coin for me and you as well
Chorus In a moment on a summer's night
I pray it's always gonna feel this right
When the world we know can disappear
We'll ride on till there's no one here
One more wish, in our story, who can tell
One more coin for the carousel
Bridge I hate the way life changed so fast and why don't
the good dreams ever last
Verse 3 You're broken, I'm torn in half and shattered,
Everything that mattered,
Holds my hand and starts to fade away
Pre-Chorus and you say
Take me back to the carousel
A coin for me and for you as well
Chorus And the world I knew disappeared
Guess I'll ride on because you're not here
Verse 4 It's been five years, she smiles with two teeth
Missing.... Everyday I'm wishing,
You were here to see how beautiful she is
Pre-Chorus So I'll take her down to the carousel
A coin for me and her as well
Chorus In a moment on a summer's night
I know it's always gonna feel this right
When the world we know can disappear
We'll ride on till just like you were here
One more wish, one more story, you can tell
One more coin for the carousel
