Aaron Watson Mackenzie Park
Well once upon a time
When I held you in my arms
On a blanket in the grass
Where we'd watch the falling stars
Under that old maple tree
We'd share secrets in the dark
Now I sit here all alone
Watching children play
In Mackenzie Park
(Chorus)
And we lived, laughed, and loved as if
There were no tomorrow
Up until the day you went away
Leaving only sorrow
Now the stars don't shine
The way they used to do
Like they did when you were mine
Perhaps they're lonely too
You can barely read the names
That I carved inside a heart
Now I sit here all alone
Watching children play
In Mackenzie Park
(Chorus)
Sometimes I think of you
And I just have to smile
Though forever never was
At least we had a little while
How time flies when you're young
Just like the flicker of a spark
Now I sit here all alone
Watching children play
In Mackenzie Park
