| Circles In The Air © Copyright George Papavgeris, January 2003 childhood memories of the first visit at a fair. My contribution to the 2003 Maidenhead Folk Club's "Songs for Tomorrow's Tradition" songwriting competition. I can't have been older than five or six My head no higher than my father's hips One day he said "you come to town with me, I have a surprise for you, just wait and see". It took an hour, though it felt like seven I couldn't wait until we made it there, But when we did I knew that this was heaven That was the first time that I'd seen a fair. I hardly could contain my pride and thrill As Father drove the dodgem with such skill. We rode the Octopus both low and high And on the Wheel I though we'd reach the sky. And when we took a ride on the Big Dipper He held me tightly so I wouldn't scare But I was flying with my eyes a-glitter As we made giant circles in the air. Pop corn and lollies till my cheeks were puffed And in the House of Mirrors how we laughed. Then Father threw the giant hoops with flair And won for me a brand new teddy bear. And I am sure I would have stayed for ever If only Father would have left me there That day I felt much lighter than a feather My feet were dancing circles in the air. The years have passed since that magic day The Waltzer of life has often made me pay The Wheel of Fortune gave me lots of fun But just as often made my tears to run. And as I closer get to my December And for life's pleasures I no longer care My first time at the fair I still remember And my heart dances circles in the air. CHORUS And if life then was happier, I don't know But if I only could, back again I'd go To when father took me to the fair And dance a few more circles in the air. |
