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 wasi 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 onto the past.
Well, that'sToo 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
Whenever I was in need of a friend.
Why did it have to end?
And why do they always say

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 good-bye to yesterday (can't say good-bye).

No regrets. But I wish that you
Were here with me. Well then,
There's hope yet.

You're not just a memory.
