Round and Round Lyrics

Why do the lights of the city shine brighter
With each step he’s taking tonight
Reflections of laughter and colors on wet cobblestone
Someone is singing a song with words that won’t rhyme
Leading him into a world he’s been longing to find
And ‘round and “round and “round we go
Nobody noticed him stealing away from the nursing home right after dark
He didn’t plan it, it just seemed to happen that way
Music is playing, his friends all welcome him in
As sweet voice is whispering come let me hold you again
And “round and “round and “round we go
His daughter’s a teacher in southern Missouri
She tries to come home once a year
The card that she wrote him for Christmas still taped to the wall
turns off the nightlight as she steps out into the hall
And ‘round and ‘round and ‘round we go
