This Used To Be My Playground (Mirrored Refrain)

Looking at the derelict slide
Recalling all the laughs and screams
This used to be my old playground
This was my place of childhood dreams

Swinging on, now rusty, swings
The creak of metal my favorite sound
This was my place of childhood dreams
This used to be my old playground

Recalling pleasant memories
The taste of the strawberry ice creams
This used to be my old playground
This was my place of childhood dreams

I run my hand over chipped paint
The bumpy rails of the merry-go-round
This was my place of childhood dreams
This used to be my old playground

Remember the days of innocence
Where everything has different means
This used to be my old playground
This was my place of childhood dreams
