Standing outside my playground How i love to hear the sounds Ringing hope the child the know How to let the magic out, l'd be there Through the endless summers Seemed like life was ours to taste Golden years before the fears I've seen ghosts of days gone by Telling me dreams don't die Like chusing a fly ball in center field And holding hands at a high school dance I'm drifting in time and it's taking me Back to the innocence Back to the innocence
These days i lose my vision And i feel my years of age And through denial forget my smile The cruel games we play I know the child deep inside me Is forever in my heart
And now pray a chance one day To have children of my own Share the blessing i have known
