Lyrics for Lakeside Park
Midway hawkers calling, "Try your luck with me" Merry-go-round wheezing the same old melody A thousand ten-cent wonders who could ask for more A pocketful of silver, the key to heaven's door Lakeside Park, willows in the breeze Lakeside Park, so many memories Laughing rides, midway lights Shining stars on summer nights Days of barefoot freedom, racing with the waves Nights of starlit secrets, crackling driftwood flames Drinking by the lighthouse, smoking on the pier Still we saw the magic was fading every year Lakeside Park, willows in the breeze Lakeside Park, so many memories Laughing rides, midway lights Shining stars on summer nights Everyone would gather on the 24th of May Sitting in the sand to watch the fireworks display Dancing fires on the beach, singing songs together Though it's just a memory, some memories last forever
