And I was a kid, when the circus came to town
Send in the clowns, light up our lives
Reach for the stars, reach for the sky
Dance with the band, sing with your heart
Don't let this moment go by
They arrived on a Monday
Sometime just after dark
A cavalcade flooded with color entered our hearts
The whole town buzzed with talk
Of what was to come
The ticket box was the first to go up
People were clamoring, trying to get into line
Excitedly watching the spectacle breathe into life
There was movement all around
Chaos besieged with sound
Then suddenly, just like a dream
The big town rose into the air
Send in the clowns, light up our lives
Reach for the stars, reach for the sky
Dance with the band, sing with your heart
Don't let this moment go by
We sat on the edge of our seats
Almost in tears
Imagining what was to come
What we would see
The curtain rose up
The music erupted
The music erupted
The darkness burst into light
The night had begun
The show is alive
I'll never forget how I felt
I'll never forget how I felt
I'll never forget how I felt
For weeks we reminisced
We spoke of nothing else
We spoke of nothing else
We spoke of nothing else
We spoke of nothing else
The ticket stubs proudly fixed to our walls
We talked about each moment
We argued which was best
Waiting and wanting to live it all again, again, and again
Send in the clowns, light up our lives
Reach for the stars, reach for the sky
Dance with the band, sing with your heart
the band
sing with
your heart
don't let
this moment
go by
send in
the clouds
light up
our lives
reach for
the stars
reach for
the sky
don't let
this moment
go by
