THIS USED TO BE
MY PLAYGROUND
THIS USED TO BE MY
CHILDHOOD DREAM
THIS USED TO BE
THE PLACE I RAN TO
WHENEVER
I WAS IN NEED
OF A FRIEND
WHY DID IT HAVE TO END
AND WHY
DO THEY ALWAYS SAY
DON'T LOOK BACK
KEEP YOUR
HEAD HELD HIGH
DON'T ASK THEM
WHY BECAUSE
LIFE IS SHORT
AND BEFORE
YOU KNOW
YOU'RE FEELING OLD
AND YOUR HEART
IS BREAKING
DON'T HOLD ON
TO THE PAST
WELL THAT'S
TOO MUCH TO ASK
THIS USED TO BE
MY PLAYGROUND
THIS USED TO BE MY
CHILDHOOD DREAM
THIS USED TO BE
THE PLACE I RAN TO
WHENEVER
I WAS IN NEED
OF A FRIEND
WHY DID IT HAVE TO END
AND WHY DO THEY
ALWAYS SAY
NO REGRETS
BUT I WISH THAT YOU
WERE HERE WITH ME
WELL THERE
THERE'S HOPE YET
I CAN SEE YOUR FACE
IN OUR SECRET PLACE
YOU'RE NOT JUST
A MEMORY
SAY GOODBYE
TO YESTERDAY
THOSE ARE WORDS
I'LL NEVER SAY
THIS USED TO BE
MY PLAYGROUND
THIS USED TO BE OUR
PRIDE AND JOY
THIS USED TO BE
THE PLACE WE RAN TO
THAT NO ONE
IN THE WORLD
COULD DARE DESTROY
THIS USED TO BE
OUR PLAYGROUND
THIS USED TO BE OUR
CHILDHOOD DREAM
THIS USED TO BE
THE PLACE WE RAN TO
I WISH YOU WERE
STANDING HERE WITH ME
THIS USED TO BE
MY PLAYGROUND
THIS USED TO BE OUR
CHILDHOOD DREAM
THIS USED TO BE
THE PLACE WE RAN TO
THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE
ARE ALWAYS FREE
WISHING YOU WERE
HERE WITH ME
