Take Me Back To Then

When I was young, I used to play

On the sand by the bay

What I've got now I'd give it all away

Just to have some fun

Life was all, I had a ship

And sailed it to the end

Why can't I go there again?

Take me back to then

When life was mellow

Where we had golden sun

Take me back, I said

I can't continue

With the world I'm in, oh

Playing in the park

Every afternoon

I've grown old, far too soon

Someone please tell me why

I can't be made to see

What good's left in my life

Is this the end of me?

There's a tear for all the dreams

That I left behind

They'll always be on my mind

Take me back to then

When life was mellow

Where we had golden sun

Take me back, I said

I can't continue

With the world I'm in

Take me back to then

When life was mellow

Where we had golden sun

Take me back, I said

I can't continue
