[Chorus (first time without background vocals):]
|
|
This used to be my playground (used to be)
|
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
|
|
[Long and movie versions only:]
|
|
[chorus]
|
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 (can't say goodbye)
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
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 (I'll never say)
|
|
This used to be my playground (used to be)
|
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
|
|
[Short and movie versions only:]
|
|
This used to be our playground (used to be)
|
This used to be our childhood dream
|
This used to be the place we ran to
|
I wish you were standing here with me
|
|
[Movie version only:]
|
|
This used to be our playground (used to be)
|
This used to be our great escape
|
This used to be the place we ran to
|
This used to be our secret hiding place
|
|
This used to be our playground (used to be)
|
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
|
