This Used To Be My Playground lyrics

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 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

This used to be
our pride and joy

This used to be the
place we ran to

That no one in the
world would
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
