(From the 1992 movie The bu*tercream Gang 1)
Looking back on a younger man
long ago and far away
Living in an age of innocence
in the shadows of a brighter day
Time stood still and it never seemed
that our worlds could grow apart
It was all for one, and one for all
straight from the heart
Once all the rains
that we hoped would never end
wash away troubles and sorrow
and starry nights
when each wish came true
can't you send all those
yesterdays to tomorrow
Won't you please tell me
where to find him
and that life
with a storybook end
Can't you please tell me
where to find him
Maybe he's found in a fairy tale
with those dreams of a better day
Life on the streets has taught me
to see the world through different eyes what was
love your neighbor as yourself
now hides behind the lies
You start thinking you can have it all
the world is yours to take so you
fill your cup with emptiness
and promises you make
Bring back those rains
and wash my cares away
and dry my eyes
with the sunlight
and on that star
only one small wish I pray
bring him home again
Won't you please tell me
where to find him
and that life with a storybook end
Can't you please tell me
where to find him
Maybe he's found in a fairy tale
with those dreams of a better day
