One bright sunny day,
We went to the carnival;
My sweet love and me,
We went on the Ferris Wheel;
And I was trembling inside.
It looked real high,
Not a single but double;
Hold onto me please,
I had thrills mingled with fear;
Only a bar held us in.
My love held me close,
Then we began to rise up;
Oh my trembling heart,
Up we went into the sky;
My love whispered he loved me.
When we reached the top,
It came to a sudden stop;
Talk about a thrill,
With a bar for protection;
The whole city below us.
Then a gusty wind,
My love kissed me with passion;
The Ferris Wheel swayed,
He reached into his pocket;
Presenting me with a ring.
Oh I was trembling,
I said, yes, yes, yes, I will;
We kissed long and deep,
It was totally thrilling;
To be stuck up in the sky.
