Carousel Wind

Verse 1 
Every afternoon at half past three, A family shows up quietly. Mama with her knitting, Daddy with the news,
She walks between them in her worn-out shoes. To the little bench beside the rail,
Where painted horses never fail. She laughs as children with smiles all spin, Listening to the carousel wind. Chorus
Carousel wind, carry me away, Past the same old mall and the same old day. Lift these dreams that nobody's seen, Beyond the glass and the gelato cream. Round and round where the bright lights begin, Whisper my name, carousel wind. Verse 2
 She knows each horse by every name, The golden mare, with silver mane. The organ plays its faithful tune, Morning's hope and afternoon. Little boys become brave knights, Little girls wear crowns and shoes with lights.
She waves goodbye though they never know How far with them her heart can go. Chorus Carousel wind, carry me away, Past the same old mall and the same old day.
Lift these dreams that nobody's seen, Beyond the glass and the gelato cream Round and round where the bright lights begin, Whisper my name, carousel wind. Bridge
 Maybe every soul has a hidden ride, A place where lonely hearts can fly. Not every journey leaves the ground; Some are only carried by a sound. The music fades, the lights grow dim, But hope keeps turning deep within. Verse 3
 One December, snow began to fall, Soft as feathers upon the mall.
 Then taking a bite out of gelato cream, The poet asked what does she dream, Staring at the ponies every day Together they watched the horses a while, As
the girl said I like seeing the children all smile Final Chorus
 Carousel wind, carry us away, Every heart deserves one shining day. The horses rise, the music sings, Love arrives on imaginary wings. Round and round the bell begins As dreams fly
On the carousel wind.
