This Used To Be My Playground

Chorus (first time without background vocals): 

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
