(Have I Stayed) Too Long At the Fair? - Live in Concert

(Ha, thank you, thank you so much)
 (I haven't sung this song for a while, I sang it last on my TV show in Colombie Barbara in the 1960s)
 (And I, perhaps I was too young to sing it then)
 Hmm, mm, mm
 Hmm, mm, mm
 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 slow now
 Have I stayed too long at the fair?
 The music has stopped 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 it was easy to capture success
 But now I'd be willing to settle for less
 The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me
 Have I stayed too long at the fair?
 There is nothing to win
 And there's no one to want me
 Have I stayed too long at the fair?
