Madonna - This Used To Be My Playground lyrics

Your rating:

Chorus (first time without background vocals):

This used to be my playground [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

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

(Long and movie versions only:)

(chorus)
Live and learn
Well the years they flew
And we never knew
We were foolish then
We would never tire
And that little fire
Is still alive in me
It will never go away
Can`t say goodbye to yesterday [can`t say goodbye]

(chorus)

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 [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 joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That 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 dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I 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 escape
This used to be the place we ran to
This used to be our secret hiding place

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
