Madonna - This Used To Be My Playground (Long Version) lyrics

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 onto the past. Well, that's
Too much to ask.

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?

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 good-bye
To yesterday (can't say good-bye).

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?

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 good-bye
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 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. The
Best things in life are always
Free, wishing you were here
With me.
