[voice of young woman] Is that your hand I just touched? I’m so sorry, didn’t mean to brush up against you. [voice of young man] But now that you did, oh my I see the reflection of the Ferris Wheel In your eyes. [voice of young woman] The line’s so long, I almost left, Until I saw you—you stole my breath. [voice of young man] Lost in that smile… And then we touched. [voice of young woman] Something’s there that I know I feel Never this much. [both sing] We rise and fall, far above the Fair, I lean on you and breathe the air. High above, no one can see How you and I were meant to be. The lights burn bright and the night is long On this ride where we belong Together, for real, On our Ferris Wheel. [voice of young man] I let my friends slowly pass me by, Pretending to check the clouds in the sky. [voice of young woman] I saw you move toward me to my delight So maybe, just maybe… We’d ride together tonight. [voice of young man] I slipped from my buddies and moved ahead, Heart beating louder than the words I said. [voice of young woman] I saw you waiting, move toward me Slowly, and sweetly… So, I made sure we’d share a seat. [both] Around we go, the whole world small, Touching the sky, then close to the stall. Your hand finds mine when the car swings low, Then we rise again in the midway glow. The wind feels warm, the stars feel near I know, Yes, I know I could stay like this all year. [both sing reprise] We rise and fall, far above the Fair, I lean on you and breathe the air. High above, no one can see How you and I were meant to be. The lights burn bright and the night is long On this ride where we belong— Together, for real, On our Ferris Wheel. [voice of young man] The wheel slows down, our moment ends, We drift back down to our waiting friends. [voice of young woman] I step away, but my heart won’t quit I turn around just to catch your silhouette. [voice of young man] I walk toward my group, but before I go, I glance back once so you’ll somehow know [voice of young woman] This wasn’t nothing, this wasn’t pretend, Maybe Ferris Wheels start more than they end. [both sing final chorus] We rise and fall, far above the Fair, I lean on you and breathe the air. High above, no one can see How you and I were meant to be. The lights burn bright and the night is long On this ride where we belong Together, for real, On our Ferris Wheel. [voice of young man] Later that night, look back on the darkened fair, I reach in my pocket and find something there. [voice of young woman] I left a ticket stub folded, soft and small, With m number and hope they'll call [voice of young man] And suddenly the whole night feels real Yup, My favorite ride’s the Ferris Wheel.
