This Used To Be My Playground

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 (Used to be)

This used to be my childhood dream

This used to be the place I ran to

Whenevеr I was in need of a friend

Why did it have to end? And why do thеy always say

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

Those are words 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

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 our 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
