Lyrics
Dancing at the Fair
I still remember the day
it was the first of May
When I first saw you dancing at the fair
We were in love by June
but I was leaving soon
So we made the most of it, while I was still there
But the summer couldn?t last
and Fall it came so fast
And all too soon I was flying through the air
Bound for a foreign shore
to meet my brother in New York
He said there?s good work to be had over there
This is not farewell, my love
for where I go, you shall always be
This is not farewell, my dear
for you are more than a memory
You?re real to me
It?s been two long years
and 2,000 bitter tears
but I?m finally back on a homeward plane
The money it was fine
but it can?t buy me time
And I?ll be damned if I ever leave you again, never again
But it?s not welcome home, my love
for you were there every day with me
And it?s not welcome home, my dear
for we were only apart in a dream
You?re real to me
I still remember the day
it was the first of May
When I first saw you dancing at the fair
