Merry-Go-Round
by Jon Gibson

Album: Body & Soul

I failed in my life
I've even failed my wife
I know I've failed you too, my son
And it cuts like a knife
I know that I made so many mistakes in my life
And, son, I'm sorry if you got hurt by them
Oh, yes I am
But I know what I was doing, yes, I did
When I got down on my knees
And I prayed this very prayer

And I said, Lord, You are the One
The One that makes this merry-go-round
Don't let me go round without Ya
Oh, You, Lord, You are the One
The One that makes this merry-go-round
I wanna go round forever, oh, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...

Since you were a boy
You've been my pride and joy
The love I have for you
Nothing could destroy, no, no, no
And although you've caused my greatest pain
My son, my love for you somehow still remains
But I knew what was goin' on
When I got down on my knees
And I prayed this very prayer

And I said, Lord, You are the One
The One that makes this merry-go-round, oh...
Don't let me go round without Ya
Oh, You, Lord, You are the One
The One that makes this merry-go-round
Oh, I guess I should've told you long ago
Hey, but I didn't know

Oh-oh, hey
Oh, son, I wish I could tell you right now
All the ways the Lord has helped me now
Helped me, helped me
Hey, oh, the Lord has helped me, son
You have no idea, my son
Oh, I wish I could share it with you now
Hey, yeah...
Listen to me, my son, oh...

Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Mm-mmm...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Oh, you know I care about you, son

Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ooh-ooh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Oh, yes
