Under The Circus Lights (Live)

Lyrics

[Spoken intro] How ya feeling? Great to be here, thanks! Here's a song about somebody who had An enchanting encounter inside of a big top tent I've always had a thing for the idea Of running away with the circus, I don't know why I just know that I'd end up with extraordinary stories to tell Here's one of 'em [Verse 1] Once upon a summer A travelling circus came to town From the land down under And I was filled with wonder When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze Tear through the air with the greatest of еase Oh, I got cotton candy And then in the dazе, I met her gaze And she winked right at me And my heart pounded madly When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze Capture the crowd with the greatest of ease [Chorus] She was a light in a dark lullaby That girl was raised by a butterfly I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly And under the circus lights I must have fallen in love that night, ooh [Verse 2] Lighter than a feather But careful as with a heavy heart She seemed to fall forever And then I wondered whether I noticed the girl on the flying trapeze Blink back a tear with the greatest of ease And she took my breath away Oh, so grand and graceful Confetti rained as she climbed through the air Like a homesick angel She makes heartache painful I thought as the girl on the flying trapeze Melted my heart with the greatest of ease [Chorus] What a display of rosé poetry What a majestic menagerie I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly And under the circus lights I must have fallen in love that night [Bridge] And then with a charming sweetness She smiled and waved and took a bow For a crowd stunned speechless And I was charmed to pieces When the girl on the flying trapeze Magically dissolved like a song on the breeze And broke my heart with the greatest of ease [Chorus] We shook the floor with a roar of applause She seemed to drown in the oohs and aahs I hung around 'til the clowns Tore the big top down And soon it was almost dawn I looked and looked but the girl was gone [Outro] Deep down, I felt kinda blue for a day or two Then clear as a bell, I knew I would run away with the circus too Thank you!
