Lyrics

The Ferris Wheel

On a Ferris wheel, at five years old
My daddy said, ?Son it?s time you were told,
Your mom and I aren?t gettin? along,
And daddy?s got to move away,?
I listened to what he had to say
?Son, I hope you?ll understand someday.?

CHORUS:
The Ferris wheel goes round and round
Just like life, it has its ups and downs
And the place where you begin
Is the place where you may end up again.

Twenty years later with a son of my own
It all came back to me
With an innocent face, full of delight
He said, ?Daddy, take me on the wheel with the lights?
I told him no and he started to cry
As he looked at me and wondered why

CHORUS

My son grew into a man
Married and moved away
I grew like my father
Each and every day
A knock at the door and nobody?s there
Had a funny feeling as I stood and stared
At the note that read, ?Meet me at the County Fair?

I saw him standin? there
It was nice to see him again
So many years had passed
I wondered how he?d been
With an innocent face full of delight
I said, ?Daddy, take me on the wheel again.?

He said?
CHORUS

TAG:
And the place where you begin
Is the place you may end up again
