MADONNA LYRICS

"This Used To Be My Playground"

[Chorus (first time without background vocals):]

This used to be my playground (used to be)This used to be my childhood dreamThis used to be the place I ran toWhenever I was in needOf a friendWhy did it have to endAnd why do they always say

Don't look backKeep your head held highDon't ask them whyBecause life is shortAnd before you knowYou're feeling oldAnd your heart is breakingDon't hold on to the pastWell that's too much to ask

[Long and movie versions only:]

[chorus]Live and learnWell the years they flewAnd we never knewWe were foolish thenWe would never tireAnd that little fireIs still alive in meIt will never go awayCan't say goodbye to yesterday (can't say goodbye)

[chorus]

No regretsBut I wish that youWere here with meWell then there's hope yetI can see your faceIn our secret placeYou're not just a memorySay goodbye to yesterday (the dream)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 joyThis used to be the place we ran toThat no one in the world could dare destroy

[Short and movie versions only:]

This used to be our playground (used to be)This used to be our childhood dreamThis used to be the place we ran toI wish you were standing here with me

[Movie version only:]

This used to be our playground (used to be)This used to be our great escapeThis used to be the place we ran toThis used to be our secret hiding place

This used to be our playground (used to be)This used to be our childhood dreamThis used to be the place we ran toThe best things in life are always freeWishing you were here with me
