I Stayed Too Long At The Fair Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

I wanted the music to play on forever 

Have I stayed too long at the fair? 

I wanted the clown to be constantly clever 

Have I stayed too long at the fair? 

I bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair 

But I couldn't find anybody to care; 

The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt now 

Have I stayed too long at the fair? 

The music has stop and the children must go now 

Have I stayed too long at the fair? 

Oh, mother dear, I know you're very proud 

Your little girl in gingham is so far above the crowd; 

No, daddy dear, you never could have known 

That I would be successful, yet so very much alone . . .

I wanted to live in a carnival city 

With laughter and love everywhere 

I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty 

I wanted somebody to care 

I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new 

But now I discover them no longer blue . . . 

The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me 

Have I stayed too long at the fair? 

There's nothing to win 

And there's no one to want me 

Have I stayed too long at the fair?
