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
And 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 our playground,
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That noone 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.
