Yesterday a child came out to wonder
C F G
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
C F Em
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
F G C
And tearful at the falling of a star
C F C
And the seasons they go round and round
C F C
And the painted ponies go up and down
F C
We're captive on the carousel of time
F
We can't return we can only look
Em F
Behind from where we came
Em F G
And go round and round and round
C
In the circle game
C F C
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
C F G
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
C F Em
Words like when you're older must appease him
F G C
And promises of someday make his dreams
C F C
And the seasons they go round and round
C F C
And the painted ponies go up and down
F C
We're captive on the carousel of time
F
We can't return we can only look
Em F
Behind from where we came
Em F G
And go round and round and round
C
In the circle game
C F C
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
C F G
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
C F Em
And they tell him take your time it won't be long now
F G C
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
C F C
And the seasons they go round and round
C F C
And the painted ponies go up and down
F C
We're captive on the carousel of time
F
We can't return we can only look
Em F
Behind from where we came
Em F G
And go round and round and round
C
In the circle game
C F C
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
C F G
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
C F Em
There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
F G C
Before the last revolving year is through
C F C
And the seasons they go round and round
C F C
And the painted ponies go up and down
F C
We're captive on the carousel of time
F
We can't return we can only look
Em F
Behind from where we came
Em F G
And go round and round and round
C
