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 twenty-fourth of May

Sitting in the sand

To watch the fireworks display

Dancing fires on the beach

Singing songs together

Tho it's just a memory

Some memories last forever
