CARNIVAL RIDE (R. Harcourt)

I went downstairs and turned on the light
I was looking for photographs in the night
Grabbed every album that I ever made
Kendall and I looked at every face
Kendall and I examined the faces, Kendall and I, we stayed up really late

You’re the reason I thrive
You’re the reason I asked you here tonight

Well there’s nothing like photos to bring up the past
I tabbed all the pages that made me laugh
Plenty of shots brought tears to my eyes
Unsung heroes, no surprise, you’re my unsung heroes, big surprise
Bring my unsung heroes into the light

You’re the reason I thrive
You’re the reason I keep getting on this carnival ride

I can be critical, stubborn and blind
I also got a heart that can hold you tight
I know what it means to be caught when you fall
Not a day goes by I don’t nod to you all, not a day goes by I don’t think of you all
Not a day goes by

You’re the reason I thrive
You’re the reason I made it all this way in our life…
