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
Live and learn
Well the years they flew
And we never knew we were foolish then
We would never tire
And that little fire is still alive in me
It will never go away
Can’t say goodbye to yesterday
No regrets
But I wish that you were here with me
Well then there’s hope yet
I can see your face in our secret place
You’re not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday [the dream]
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
