Love is not meant to be

an amusement park

where two take some quick

rides and then disembark

Love us a crazy carousel

that can carry you

Through all those ups and downs

you face your whole life through

and if you fall off the horse you`re sharing

you shouldn't just walk away without caring

leaving your partner the burdens of bearing

all of the loneliness they`11 share in the dark

You`ve got to get right back up in the stirrups

asking forgiveness for love's disturbance

making sure that there's no reoccurrence

that will separate two loving hearts...

I have been trying hard

To grab that brass ring

And win another chance with you

But it just keeps on eluding me

Baby, I'm saddle sore and blue

I want to get back in that circle

of your sweet love I'm denied

Back when we took such

An incredible ride

Together in Tandem

side by side

You know, chased a lot of ponytails

back in my elementary days

but with you babe I want to settle down

If I can just get you back to stay

If you'll forgive me,

I'll catch that brass ring

that will become a

golden wedding Band

Just like we both planned

cause now I understand

how much I need to be your man

If you'll whisper that you miss me

as you just bent down to kiss me.

Then we will both join again in harmony

to those sweet notes of love's calliope

Taking us both back to where we used to be

Together in tandem. ..side by side.

together in tandem...side by side
