I remember sundays in the park Evening prayers in the dark Sweet dreams of wings of hope Eyes wide open as a new morning broke I am desperate and I am nostalgic Clinging to the past As for tomorrow, I do believe This carrousel will pass Beyond the point of no returning Good things never last And it makes me sad and just slightly mad! In my memories still homeward bound Those days were like a merry-go-round Youth didn't come to soon Sweet temptation sweet perfume I am desperate and I am nostalgic Clinging to the past As for tomorrow, I do believe This carrousel will pass Beyond the point of no returning Good things never last And it makes me sad and just slightly mad! I remember sundays in the park Evening prayers in the dark Sweet dreams of wings of hope Eyes wide open as a new morning broke In my memories still homeward bound Those days were like a merry-go-round Youth didn't come to soon Sweet temptation sweet perfume Am I being over-nostalgic? Dreaming of the past The world today - I'm just not so sure If life's worth living for There were times, I was optimistic We should have made it last But now I'm just so sad Don't be desperate, don't be frantic I'm clinging to the past I've got all the love you need How could I made it last It's peaceful here and so romantic Instead I let it pass Now don't be sad, don't be sad Don't be desperate, don't be frantic I'm clinging to the past To a dream you thought could come real That hope is fading fast It's peaceful here and so romantic Instead I let it pass Come back and stay, we'll find a way Please, let me stay
