Have I Stayed Too Long at the Fair - Barbra Streisand

Lyrics by：Barbra Streisand

Composed by：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 slow now

Have I stayed too long at the fair?

I thought run how

To the people who love me

Have I stayed too long at the fair?

Oh mommy 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 river

Oh shine and new

But now I discover that no longer blue

The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me

Have I stayed too long at the fair?

There is nothing to win

And there's no one to want me

Have I stayed too long at the fair?
