Lyrics

Atop a painted pony
My heart was beating fast
You threw your arms around me
Kissed me, made me laugh
I grabbed the worn

-out leather
Around its neck of gold
And whispered to you softly
Never let me go
We made a carousel of colors
Red and orange and green
Riding painted ponies
Chasing all our dreams
Round and round
Life’s ups and downs
Let’s face them, you and me
In a carousel of colors
Made for you and me
The music kept on playing
Our world began to blur
The days and months passed quickly
We had a little girl
She loved the midway candy
But her favorite place on earth
Was the carousel of colors
Where you kissed me first
We made a carousel of colors
Red and orange and green
Riding painted ponies
Chasing all our dreams
Round and round
Life’s ups and downs
Let’s face them, you and me
In a carousel of colors
Made for you and me
Today we’re on a park bench
Just listening to the sound
Of the pretty painted ponies
Spinning round and round
Your arm is still around me
Our girl is grown and gone
But the carousel of colors
Still plays our favorite song
