Comes the sun, heaven's rays
And the stormers are gone
And the white cloth is raised
Golden days
And the city is in love again
And we dream in a daze
And we drink and we dance
And we throw cares away
Lovers gaze
And the city's in love

My heart was so dark, dear
With you not here
And the cold wind's all that would meet me
At my door

I waved goodbye and wished you well
Life's a carousel
When it brings you 'round, it never, never tells
When you'll find yourself in love again

Love and love again
Love and love again

The merry-go-round never ends
I waved goodbye and wished you well
Life's a carousel
When it brings you 'round, it never, never tells
When you'll find yourself in love again

Bitter rose, sour plum
And the birds sing to soothe
Where the roses were stung
Heart's undone
And the world is in love again
There's a spell on the air
And the sailors all drift
And get lost in her hair
Hearts are bare
And the soldiers come home again

My eyes, they grew dark, dear
With you not here
And the cold wind's all that would dance me
'Round my floor

I waved goodbye and wished you well
Life's a carousel
When it brings you round, it never, never tells
When you'll find yourself in love again

Love and love again
Love and love again

The 'round-and-'round ride never ends
