Lyrics

Carnival

I'll sing to the sun in the sky
I'll sing 'till the sun rises high
Carnival time is here
Magical time of year
And as the time draws near
Dreams lift my heart

I'll sing as I play my guitar
I'll climb to a dream from afar
Will love come my way
This Carnival day
And stay here in my heart?

Will true love come my way
On this Carnival day
Or will I be alone with my dream?

I'll sing as I play my guitar
I'll climb to a dream from afar
Will love come my way
This Carnival day
And stay here in my heart?
