Going Back

Going back every now and then,
To a time when the world stood still,
I sang the words that my heart wrote,
And I read your little notes,
Oooh (Back when the world stood still)
Going back to that small backyard,
When our lives couldn’t be hard,
Dreamin’ dreams in the summertime,
Wishin’ wishes in the night,
Ohhh (Wishes in the night, oh.)
Going back to our high school years,
The first time,
I saw you in tears,
You had, a broken heart,
I had the glue,
Ooh, and nobody knew,

Let’s go back,
(We’re going back)
To that old backyard,
(Home again)
To our old high school,
(School again.)
When we wished,
(All night)
When we dreamed,
(All night)
When we were in love.
(Oh, love.)
Hurry forward,
To 2012,
When they all hear,
Our wedding bells,
It is a dream come true,
Oh, It’s just me and you,
Flash forward, to ‘82
An old couple,
In old shoes,
They’re sittin’ on, their creaky front porch,
With an album in their lap,
The old man, is saying the words,
You always told me,
He said, “Let’s go back, to the old back yard,
When our lives, couldn’t be hard.”
We’re going back.
