My Moonlight Madonna - Laurindo Almeida

This used to be my playground 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 This used to be my playground (ah 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?, 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 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 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 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
