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
With the world I'm in
