LYRICS

i'll sing to the sun in the sky
i'll sing to the sun rises high

carnival time is here
magical time of year
and as the time draws near
dreams fill my heart

i'll sing while he plays his guitar
i'll sing as the night wakes the dawn
will love come my way
on this magical day
and will love stay in my heart

carnival time is here
magical time, i�m near
and as the time draws near
dreams fill my heart

i'll sing while he plays his guitar
i'll sing in my dream from afar
will love come my way
on this magical day
and will love stay in my heart

will true love come my way
on this magical day
or will i live alone
in my ..
dreams...
stay in me
stay in my heart...

you....

i say it again
the way you walk and i know
the way you can
the way you�re telling me
you�re not a dangerous man
i said it again
i'll say again
i�m not that kind of woman
the way you're tellin' me
whoa...
what you can do
what you can do to me
what you can do...
you...
you...

COMMENTS

Carnival is a remake of the classic Manha de Carnaval. This song originated from a 1959 film called, Black Orpheus. The original lyrics were not written by Tori. And the actual lyrics Tori sings are just one of the many translations. However, Tori did create her own environment towards the end of the song. The beat picks up with a heavy, fast bass and Tori's few new lyrics make up the ending to this amazing song.

Tori performed this song live, in-concert for the first time during the On Scarlet's Walk Tour in Chicago, IL on November 27, 2002 with the band.
