[Verse] I’m standin’ by the ticket booth, Where the summer’s slow and sweet, The ferris wheel is turning slow, Lit up in a midnight beat. You’re miles away, but here with me, On this county fairground phone, Your voice comes soft like a gentle breeze, That makes me feel at home. [Pre-Chorus] And I hold on every word you say, Like a secret song you play, [Chorus] Hey darlin’, hear me through the noise, This call’s a little piece of joy, From cotton candy skies to the carousel, I’m wishing you were here to tell— That I’m missin’ you tonight, Under these fairground lights, And though the miles pull us apart, I’m keepin’ you close in my heart. [Verse] The smell of popcorn and old pine trees, Mixes with your laughter's tune, I watch the kids chase fireflies, While I talk to you by the moon. These painted lights don’t shine as bright, As the love we can’t replace, But your voice turns this midnight night, Into a warm embrace. [Pre-Chorus] So I hold on every word you say, Like a secret song you play, [Chorus] Hey darlin’, hear me through the noise, This call’s a little piece of joy, From cotton candy skies to the carousel, I’m wishing you were here to tell— That I’m missin’ you tonight, Under these fairground lights, And though the miles pull us apart, I’m keepin’ you close in my heart. [Bridge] One day we’ll walk through this fair again, Hand in hand, no lines between, Till then I’ll hear your voice on the wind, A song that carries me where you’ve been. [Chorus] Hey darlin’, hear me through the noise, This call’s a little piece of joy, From cotton candy skies to the carousel, I’m wishing you were here to tell— That I’m missin’ you tonight, Under these fairground lights, And though the miles pull us apart, I’m keepin’ you close in my heart. [Outro] Yeah, I’m keepin’ you close in my heart.
