I'm looking through my Expo books
"Official Souvenir Program"
I slowly close my eyes
And there I am
It is night time and the lights are there
Beautiful and bright
The fireworks are crackling
Music fills the night
But daytime is so special too
I recall you and I one day
Eating those foot long baguettes
As we watched
The lunchtime parade
Getting stamps was our main desire
And seeing the pavilions
We waited hours sometimes
But were never disappointed
Do you remember the frilled lizard?
The sculptures that they made?
The human factor figures
And the brilliant Aquacade?
Did you pick up the gold in WA?
See the "friendship capsules" in Japan?
See the bear in California
Or get bitten by the croc in Queensland?
The food was beautiful
Being with you was fun
Seeing "Fujitsu" was eye-opening
The whole carnival was enjoyed by everyone.
