Julie Driscoll I Nearly Forgot - But I Went Back
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 realice
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 can 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 sang their song.
I went back
I went back
