Confetti on the floor of the high school gym boy meets girl and girl meets him he takes her hand and they dance together she says, "This is our song," and it's theirs forever 
This old world is a merry-go-round with painted horses going up and down oceans of tears gales of laughter once in a while someone lives happily ever after 
This world seems cruel at your first glance look again it's like a dance once you've had a good long gaze 
It seems we all starr in our very own plays 
This old is a merry-to-round with painted horses going up and down oceans of tears gales of laughter once in a while someone lives happily ever after 
We grow out of the days like moth-eaten sweater 
Half of the time things change for the better 
Wait for a call, look for a letter 
It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings yeah... 
Finishing's harder than beginning being good's not as fun as sinning being right's not as good as winning 
It's best to be the one that ends up grinning 
This old world is a merry-go-round with painted horses going up and down oceans of tears gales of laughter once in a while someone lives happily ever after yeah, yeah 
This old world is a merry-go-round with painted horses going up and down oceans of tears gales of laughter once in a while someone lives happily ever after
