Lyrics: Under The Circus Lights
Once upon a summer
A traveling circus came to town
From the land down under
And I was filled with wonder
When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze
Tear through the air with the greatest of ease
I got cotton candy
And then in a daze, I met her gaze
And she winked right at me
And my heart pounded madly
When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze
Capture the crowd with the greatest of ease
She was a light in a dark lullaby
That girl was raised by a butterfly
I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly
And under the circus lights
I must have fallen in love that night
Lighter than a feather
But careful, as with a heavy heart
She seemed to fall forever
And then I wondered whether
I noticed the girl on the flying trapeze
Blink back a tear with the greatest of ease
And she took my breath away
Oh so grand and graceful
Confetti rained as she climbed through the air
Like a homesick angel
“She makes heartache painful”
I thought as the girl on the flying trapeze
Melted my heart with the greatest of ease
What a display of rosé poetry
What a majestic menagerie
I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly
And under the circus lights
I must have fallen in love that night
Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to the most spectacular show on Earth
And she took my breath away
I was so enamored
And she took my breath away
All that glitz and glamor
And she took my breath away
I was so enamored
And that’s how the girl on the flying trapeze
Knocked me off my feet with the greatest of ease
And then with a charming sweetness
She smiled and waved and took a bow
For a crowd stunned speechless
And I was charmed to pieces
When the girl on the flying trapeze
Magically dissolved like a song on the breeze
And simply broke my heart with the greatest of ease
We shook the floor with a roar of applause
She seemed to drown in the oohs and aahs
I hung around til the clowns
Tore the big top down
And soon it was almost dawn
I looked and looked but the girl was gone
Deep down I felt kinda blue
For a day or two
Then clear as a bell, I knew
I would run away with the circus too
