lyrics
We were kids once - on the playground.
We were kids once - we would swing
through the air like trapeze artists;
we would swear that we had wings.
And just to test our brave new theory,
we'd let go and take the leap,
but we were never disappointed
to discover gravity.
We were kids once - on the playground.
We were kids once - we would be
so in love with simple freedoms.
We were happy; we had peace.
And when that bell rang - on the playground,
we would never want to leave.
Though we had those rocks in our shoes,
we would always drag our feet.
-
I would stay here forever.
-
We were kids once - on the playground.
We were kids and then the
years escaped us - and the playground
soon became mere memory.
I'd grown old enough to notice
everything time took from me
and would have soon been broken-hearted
then came the day that we did meet.
And after, with you - on the playground
I remembered the feeling
of days gone by - it reawakened.
I was happy; I had peace.
In love together - on the playground
we never wanted to leave.
Though we had those rocks in our shoes,
we held hands and dragged our feet.
-
I would stay here forever.
We were kids once - we would swing
through the air like trapeze artists;
we would swear that we had wings.
And just to test our brave new theory,
we'd let go and take the leap,
but we were never disappointed
to discover gravity.
We were kids once - on the playground.
We were kids once - we would be
so in love with simple freedoms.
We were happy; we had peace.
And when that bell rang - on the playground,
we would never want to leave.
Though we had those rocks in our shoes,
we would always drag our feet.
-
I would stay here forever.
-
We were kids once - on the playground.
We were kids and then the
years escaped us - and the playground
soon became mere memory.
I'd grown old enough to notice
everything time took from me
and would have soon been broken-hearted
then came the day that we did meet.
And after, with you - on the playground
I remembered the feeling
of days gone by - it reawakened.
I was happy; I had peace.
In love together - on the playground
we never wanted to leave.
Though we had those rocks in our shoes,
we held hands and dragged our feet.
-
I would stay here forever.
