BIG TOPS
 
Marcus Hummon
Steve Wariner
 
As long as the ferris wheel spins ‘round
Makin’ the night bright as day
I know our love will shine about
And keep the darkness at bay
I know you’ll see the man you love
And not the man that I am
I pray that I can win you a prize
And summer will never end

CHORUS
    But the circus is leavin’ town
    They’re firing all the clowns
    And the hum of the trucks
    As they’re loading ‘em up
    Make a lonesome sound
    The big tops are comin’ down…baby
    Yeah they’re bringin’ the big tops down

The kids are all grown and gone
It’s awful quiet at night
We’re both feelin’ all alone
Though we’re lying side by side
We hover around the haunted house
Like a couple of ghosts
The laughin’, the cryin’, the lovin’, the fightin’,
I don’t know what I miss the most

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
    I keep standin’ by the window
    Listenin’ for the sound
    For the wheels of love rollin’
    Comin’ back around
    Comin’ back around baby

CHORUS
    But the circus is leavin’ town
    They’re firing all the clowns
    And the hum of the trucks
    As they’re loading ‘em up
    Make a lonesome sound
    The big tops are comin’ down…baby
    Yeah they’re bringin’ the big tops down
    They’re bringin’ the big tops down...(3x)
