One evening I saw you lit by sundown
at a carnival on the edge of town from afar
and the only way I can describe my love, my longing
is like lightening in a jar

You were with your friends having fun going on the rides
blushing with the sunset glowing in the summer moonlight
I tried to hide my gaze but my heart was all ablaze
looking for an excuse to talk with you, finding tender words to say

How to get things started how to keep things fresh
how to find the words that would bring sweet finesse
You stood there like a beauty unaware of divinity
I was just happy to stand anywhere in your vicinity

One evening I saw you lit by sundown
at a carnival on the edge of town from afar
and the only way I can describe my love, my longing
is like lightening in a jar

Diamonds, rubies, gold and dust
Diamonds, rubies, gold and dust
one day I hope to earn your love
your trust

Diamonds, rubies, gold and dust
Diamonds, rubies, gold and dust
one day I hope to earn your love
your trust
