Watching the time go by
And wondering why I'm thinking 'bout you
Cause the memory burns
As I watch the sunrise again
Turnin' around in my mind
As the heat of the morning - wonder, sunshine
Moves the memory of you
Visions on a merry-go-'round

Ahh, turning around and around
My key's the shining of your soul

Anywhere you may be right now
I hope you can hear the prayer of my heart
Tell me how long you will take to know
'Cause it's hard being farther apart

Over and over again
I was tellin' me I gotta gotta let go
And I want you to know I will always be here for you

Ahh, turning around and around
Lucky I was to once have you near

Anywhere you may be right now
I hope you can hear the prayer of my heart
Tell me how long you will take to know
'Cause it's hard being farther apart
Here I go, up and down once more
Riding on this merry-go-'round
I just have for you this prayer in my heart
'Cause it's hard being so far apart
Spinning 'round and 'round

Will it be now or never when
I can look into your eyes with my own
Wanting only you to know how I care
'Cause I just loved you right from the start
Here I go, up and down once more
Riding on this merry-go-'round
I just have for you this prayer in my heart
'Cause it's hard being so far apart
Merry-go-'round
Merry-go-'round
