I remember so long ago wondering    Could we stay this way forever    On this carousel turning and laughing    We just wanted to be together       And so we did it    We left on our own merry way    Into this world alone       In the sand at the sea we lay gazing    At the stars up above in the heavens    There was nothing to keep us from playing    We just wanted to be together       Why did we do it    We left on our own merry way    Into this world alone       Little did we know    Where we were going then    And when things got cold    Trying not to pretend       Ooo...       And still we did it    We left on our own merry way    Into this world alone       How were we to know    Things were so simple then    Somehow we lost hope    Falling to earth again       Then came that cold winter's day    When we ended it forever    After everything we used to say    There was nothing to keep us together       And so we did it    Each left on our own merry way    Back to this world alone
