Lets hurry now a moment can we say these last prayers Can we unfurl what’s written to tell Tell me so slowly whole year and a day To Columbia Gardens lets fast make our way
Where the carousel dances to the music so sweet And we smile at the strangeness..of glass on our feet And the tall handsome work boys down into the lake And the winter white swans and the ripples they make
In Columbia gardens where right now The chariot’s waiting to whisk me away To a land of adventure and each wish is granted and time will stand still on.... To a land of one day a princess I’ll be and kids they go free on June Arbor day
Puts a whole nickel into my hand to give to the man at the strap candy stand And here on the ferris wheel, the world looks so small, No need to be scared mum, I swear I won’t fall
Slow down sweet mary Don’t chase the proud peacocks acting just like proud men I hear them right.... Thousands are singing a sweet melody Who’ll make you prouc mama but me And for making my crown for the play I’ll be queen of the pageant ...maybe they’ll pick me this year I wish he was here to see Arbor Day.
