This Used To Be My Playground

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
