I Nearly Forgot But I Went Back

Текст песни Julie Driscoll - I Nearly Forgot But I Went Back

(For Angie)

In the park where we played as children
The wind blows cold through my lace
But the sun shines bright upon my face

The fairy houses are all gone now
Yes, it's changed a lot
And where's the rockery that I fell down and grazed my knee

Times go on by, we don't seem to realize
But these memories can pass you by -
Seems a long time

I remember when you and I were just children
Discovering the simple things that can make you happy

We played on the swings - we got dirty in the mud -
We ran naked when the rain came down -
And still kept running when the sun began to shine

Seems the older we grow, the less we seem to know
And the more steps that are taken, the further on we have to go

But that's the beauty of life, after all is said and done
'Cause no matter how much you learn, you've really only just begun
Seems that we must turn to children, to find ourselves again

In the park it's all different now
But somehow it's stayed the same
The grass is just as green, and the birds still sing their song

I went back
I went back
