There was a time when you and I
We were runnin’ in the streets
We promised not to say good-bye
never told a single lie.

When all the clowns
Have made their round
And circus leaves the town
We’ll meet again
You tell me when
But will we still be friends

There was a time when you and I
We would never say good-bye
All the tender years of hopes and fears
Have taught me how to lie

(When all the clowns)
Yeah when all the clowns, when all the clowns
(Have made their round)
have made their rounds
(And circus leaves the town)
And circus leaves the town
(We’ll meet again)
Then one day, then one day we’ll meet again my friend
(You tell me when)
But you tell me when
(But will we still be friends)
And ehh, will we still be friends

When all the clowns
Have made their round
And circus leaves the town
We’ll meet again
You tell me when
But will we still be friends
