Under the Circus Lights (Live) - Owl City

Composed by：Adam Young

Once upon a summer

A travelling circus came to town

From the land down under

And I was filled with wonder

When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze

Tear through the air with the greatest of ease

I got cotton candy

And then in the daze I met her gaze

And she winked right at me

And my heart pounded madly

When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze

Capture the crowd with the greatest of ease

She was a light in a dark lullaby

That girl was raised by a butterfly

I swear when I caught her eye I could almost fly

And under the circus lights

I must have fallen in love that night

Lighter than a feather

But careful as with a heavy heart

She seemed to fall forever

And then I wondered whether

I noticed the girl on the flying trapeze

Blink back a tear with the greatest of ease

And she took my breath away

Oh so grand and graceful

Confetti rained as she climbed through the air

Like a homesick angel

She makes heartache painful

I thought as the girl on the flying trapeze

Melted my heart with the greatest of ease

What a display of rosé poetry

What a majestic menagerie

I swear when I caught her eye I could almost fly

And under the circus lights

I must have fallen in love that night

And then with a charming sweetness

She smiled and waved and took a bow

For a crowd stunned speechless

And I was charmed to pieces

When the girl on the flying trapeze

Magically dissolved like a song on the breeze

And broke my heart with the greatest of ease

We shook the floor with a roar of applause

She seemed to drown in the oohs and aahs

I hung around 'til the clowns

Tore the big top down

And soon it was almost dawn

I looked and looked but the girl was gone

Deep down I felt kinda blue for a day or two

Then clear as a bell I knew

I would run away with the circus too
