Well once upon a time When I held you in my arms On a blanket in the gra** Where we'd watch the falling stars Under that old maple tree We'd share secrets in the dark Now I sit here all alone Watching children play In Mackenzie Park (Chorus) And we lived, laughed, and loved as if There were no tomorrow Up until the day you went away Leaving only sorrow Now the stars don't shine The way they used to do Like they did when you were mine Perhaps they're lonely too You can barely read the names That I carved inside a heart Now I sit here all alone Watching children play In Mackenzie Park (Chorus) Sometimes I think of you And I just have to smile Though forever never was At least we had a little while How time flies when you're young Just like the flicker of a spark Now I sit here all alone Watching children play In Mackenzie Park
